"The Equalizer 3" is scoring the second best Labor Day weekend opening ever. The Denzel Washington-led action-thriller made 42-million-dollars over the long weekend. "Barbie" lands in second with over 13-million made in its seventh weekend, while it also surpassed "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" for highest grossing worldwide release of 2023. "Blue Beetle" flies into third place and last week's number-one, "Gran Turismo," fell into fourth place.

(Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" has the best Labor Day opening after it made over 94-million-dollars in 2021.)

We're remembering an iconic singer and songwriter who had a special place in the hearts of Floridians. According to his website, Jimmy Buffett passed away peacefully Friday night "surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs." His death followed a four-year battle with Merkel cell skin cancer. Buffett said he always considered himself a road performer and had millions of faithful fans known as Parrotheads. Jimmy Buffett won't be forgotten any time soon in Key West. The city held a procession Sunday in honor of the part-time resident. About 25-hundred people attended. Buffett was most identified with the 1977 hit "Margaritaville," but the song that first put him on the map was from 1974, "Come Monday." Jimmy Buffett was 76.
