The Dinosaurs of "Jurassic World" seems to be eating every thing that comes or stands on its way. First of all it earned $18.5 million from Thursday evening previews, the biggest late-night showing ever for any Universal movie, after Furious 7 ($15.8 million). By Friday Jurassic World earned $82.8 million, which is the third-biggest day ever behind Avengers 2 ($84m) and Harry Potter 7.2 ($91m). The only thing to watch now is whether the movie is able to gross past $200 million by the end of the weekend.
This blog share some news about Hollywood and Soccer. It is about things that I like and feel that some one else might also find interesting.

Last night, in the Champion League Final, saw one contest between two teams which gave their all out. This was a contest of legends of both clubs, who might never get to play in another Champion League final again.The three legends from their respective clubs are Xavi from Barcelona and Buffon and Pirlo from Juventus.

He ended it by lifting the Champion League trophy last night.Although he will not be apart of future Barca teams, Xavi said the club will be capable of continuing to win trophies in the coming years.
For, Buffon and Pirlo last night was a heartbreak.It was in Berlin that Gigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo lifted the World Cup together in 2006. Buffon took a decision in 2006, staying with the Juventus team that had just been relegated to Serie B as a result of the Calciopoli scandal, which helped him attaining legendary status with the Juventus faithfull. He has been rewarded with four consecutive Serie A titles. But not yet a Champions League.He gave his all out making some excellent saves but in the end he could not keep the all conquering attacking trident of Barcelona at bay.
Similarly, everyone believed Pirlo's carrier to be over when Milan released him on 2011. But by joining Juventus , he gave the club a new life, which in turn rejuvenated his carrier. Since joining Juventus he has won four consecutive Serie-A title. He won Serie A Player of the Year: 2012, 2013, 2014. He complete his fairy tell at Juventus by helping them, win the Champion League. But it was not so. The picture of him crying after the final, tell everything.Whatever may happen next season one thing is sure that though Buffon and Pirlo lost the game last night, the won millions heart.
