‘Ralph’ tops box office again, ‘Aquaman’ is a hit in China

With no new wide releases, Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet” again led in domestic ticket sales with an estimated $16.1 million. The animated sequel has grossed more than $140 million in three weeks.
Another holdover, “The Grinch,” trailed in second with $15.2 million in its fifth weekend. But the weekend’s biggest new arrival was in China, where Warner Bros.’ “Aquaman” debuted with $93.6 million in ticket sales.
That marked a new record for a DC title in China and ranks fourth all-time for superhero films.
Buckingham says Nicks gave Fleetwood Mac ‘an ultimatum’
Lindsey Buckingham is opening up about why he was ousted from Fleetwood Mac – and pointing a finger at Stevie Nicks.
In an interview with CBS This Morning on Saturday, the musician claimed the band’s female frontrunner is largely to blame for his departure. He said he first got a hint something was wrong when he got a call from the band’s manager Irving Azoff saying Nicks was upset with him.
In a separate interview, bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Nicks told CBS that Buckingham’s reluctance to sign off on a new tour was to blame.
Buckingham insistedthat Azoff told him Nicks was upset with his behavior at the MusiCares event in January.
