Fourth-of-July Weekend Top 10

I've been so stressed out with work these past few months. For us working in the publishing industry , the month of March up to the month of June is very very toxic, especially if you're providing elementary and high school textbooks. From getting orders , processing , shipping , and delivery is very very exhausting and an emotional roller-coaster rides.

Today, I can now say that I can breath in a regular rhythm because as of  today all my textbook deliveries were done. What a relief! So, before I will tend to my college clientèle it is but right for me to take a break and relax a bit. And the best way to relax is watch a movie.

Speaking of watching a movie. Let's us rank the top ten fourth-of-July weekend box office.

10. Cyrus - $ 1.0 M

Synopsis:

Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John (John C. Reilly) has all but given up on romance.

To his and everyone else’s surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited Molly (Marisa Tomei).

Their chemistry is immediate. The relationship takes off quickly but Molly is oddly reluctant to take the relationship beyond John’s house. Perplexed, he follows her home and discovers the other man in Molly’s life: her son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill). A 21-year-old new age musician, Cyrus is his mom’s best friend and shares an unconventional relationship with her. Cyrus will go to any lengths to protect Molly and is definitely not ready to share her with anyone, especially John.
