It's a triumphant weekend at the Box Office as Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings OBLITERATES the Labor Day Weekend record set 14 years ago by Rob Zombie's Halloween.

This week, The Boys plow through the Top 5 and discuss how The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It was able to dethrone A Quiet Place Part II at the top of the Box Office, whether or not Godzilla vs Kong will beat AQPPII to $100 Million, and why Cruella’s B.O. is not indicative of its overall success (2:00). Then we come to grips with the Federal Trade Commission’s reports of fraudulent behavior committed by MoviePass and its onetime CEO Mitch Lowe’s. This one is personal, so The Boys make a call to action: https://mashable.com/article/moviepass-scam-ftc-complaint/ (34:20).

We evaluate the numbers from every angle and discuss what this massive success means for John Krasinski, Emily Blunt and Emma Stone (3:47). Then, we look ahead to next weekend and ponder whether The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It will scare up enough business to halt the franchises' sliding numbers at the Box Office and will Spirit Untamed soar or be broken (51:10).

There wasn't much to laugh about in the Summer of 2020, but then a movie swooped in to fill that mirthless void. And that movie was Killer Raccoons 2: Dark Christmas In The Dark. For a few weeks in July and August, KR2:DCD was the #1 Comedy Film in America. In this very special interview, The Boys sit down with Travis Irvine, the brains behind the scrappy indie powerhouse that took over theaters when we needed it most. We talk to Travis about the origins of the Killer Raccoons IP, working with unsavory creatures (Ron Jeremy) and what he has in store for the third (and final!) installment of the Killer Raccoons Trilogy. (Spoiler: The B.O. Boys will die in it!) Travis is proof positive that the scrappy indie sensibility is alive and well in American Cinema and it can lead to Box Office Success.

But Demon Slayer wasn't far behind at $21.1 million, and in almost HALF the number of theaters! We break down the demos for each, talk about how anime movies over-index and praise the demo who earned Mortal Kombat the fatality over Demon Slayer this weekend. (Hint: It's not who you think!) Oscar, Oscar, Oscar... who won? We talk about the reasons this Oscar telecast is bound to be the lowest rated ever and theorize how much each Best Picture Nominee would have made at the Box Office in a non-pandemic year.

LA theaters reopened this weekend, netting $1.55 Million and buoying the Top 5. The Boys run down what dropped the least. Plus, Black Widow moves to July 9 and Cruella stays put, but they're both getting a day and date release in theaters and Disney + PVOD. On top of that, Pixar's Luca shifts exclusively to Disney + on Father's Day Weekend. What does this mean for Disney's relationship with theatrical?
