d**n shame. She made such a big deal over overcoming drugs to regain her popularity to succumb is sad.

It's not clear whether she had a relaps or whether it was her earlier drug use that killed her. I think the latter is the sadder possibility, One could imagine a recovering drug addict, struggling to get clean, looking at stories like this and thinking "why even bother?"

well her friends said she had relapsed, and the autopsy does not seem to say any one drug killed her so not a traditional over dose I suspect it is damage done years ago, and the relapse with a combination of drugs that probably suppressed the autonomic functions to some degree.

Could even be alcohol with prescription drugs. Plenty of people indulge a drink not realizing the drugs will have interactions.

If they release what drugs she had in her were may get a idea of it this was new "illegal" drug use

Second place belongs to Wonder Woman, which dropped a mere 30% for an outstanding $40.7 million, which puts its domestic cume just shy of $275 million. This is the second largest third weekend ever for WB, just behind the $42.6 million for The Dark Knight and ahead of the $35.7 million for The Dark Knight Rises. Additionally, the film went into the weekend outpacing Man of Steel after 14 days in release and it is also now overtaken Suicide Squad, which had grossed $262.4 million after 17 days, which is impressive to say the least considering Wonder Woman debuted with $62.7 million less than Suicide Squad. Internationally, Wonder Woman delivered an estimated $39.5 million from 62 markets, bringing the international cume to $297.2 million, pushing the film's worldwide total to $571.8 million. This puts Wonder Woman's international cume ahead of films such as The Wolverine ($282.2m), Thor ($268.2m) and Iron Man ($266.7m). Openings this weekend included an estimated $3.2 million debut in Germany, a $982k opening in the Netherlands and a $810k release in Norway..........it sure looks like WW will surpass Cavill's The Man Of Steel garbage as I was hoping it would. WW is the ONLY decent thing in this DC film drek they are shoveling out to the masses......

It kind of is a problem cause except for man of steel it got nothing in common with the batfleck justice league and Zack Snyder's crapverse

Now suicide squad was good imo but it's also a female driven story with Harley Quinn a the real lead, will smith and the joker were forgettable

I was surprised to so pirates 5 cleared $500 million overseas. They are close to the $700 million they need to be near break even.
That movie was complete garbage and it's not dead over seas?!

The mummy is doing better over seas as well, $296 million, in theory they need $375 million to break even.
Wonder Woman is just shy of $600 million and should of broke even already probably the first recent D.C. To do so although suicide squad might of.

Carrie Fisher toxicology results: It was established that there was cocaine as well as traces of heroin, morphine, MDMA (a purified form of ecstasy), and other opiates in her blood. The samples were taken from Fisher when she arrived at a Los Angeles hospital. "I am not shocked that part of her health was affected by drugs," Todd Fisher said. He said his sister's heart condition was probably worsened by her smoking habit, as well as the medications she took. "If you want to know what killed her, it's all of it," he said.........with this toxic combo in her system there is no surprise to me at the end result, especially if it was a chronic usage.

Wonder Woman just cleared $500 million at the worldwide box office and may end up being more lucrative than Man of Steel or Batman v Superman. But how much did Gal Gadot get paid for starring in such a huge hit?

The answer is $300,000. Actors often receive a bonus when their film passes a box office milestone, so Gadot will probably end up with more than that. But alongside other Hollywood salaries, it sounds surprisingly low.

Gal Gadot initially signed on for three movies, which have already been covered by Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, and the upcoming Justice League. She revealed in 2014 that she was paid $300,000 per film, a figure that isn’t wholly unusual for superhero blockbusters. Chris Evans earned $300,000 for Captain America, and Deadline reported in 2013 that some of the Avengers earned $200,000 for The Avengers due to their multi-picture contracts. Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr. leveraged his star power to the tune of $50 million. Despite those examples from Marvel Studios (which is famously draconian about its actors’ contracts), this situation carries a whiff of Hollywood’s gender pay gap. Why? Because according to Forbes, Henry Cavill earned a sweet $14 million for Man of Steel, including box office bonuses. As he pointed out last year, “I’m not just doing this for the art.”

That seems very unfair. I suppose it could be justified on the grounds that WW was not expected to do as well as Man of Steel or BvS, but I hope she ups her price significantly for WW2, and threatens to walk if they don't pay up. After all, imagine the damage it would do to the film if she did. It puts her in an excellent bargaining position, I'd say.

Deadline: Universal’s Tom Cruise movie stands to lose an estimated $95M off of a final estimated global box office tally of $375M. That’s $75M at the domestic B.O., and $300M from overseas. This despite the fact that the movie was the biggest global opening ever for Cruise at $169.3M. However, relative to the production investment here, which is estimated at $345M in total production and global P&A spent (broken out $195M production cost and $150M distribution/ad expenses), those records — and even this weekend’s No. 1 overseas hold of $53M — are not enough to get Mummy over these hurdles. Even if Mummy crosses $100M in China (Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation made over $135M there), only 25% of that is coming back to Universal’s bank account. Total revenue for Mummy across all streams including theatrical rental, net global TV and home entertainment is estimated at $250M, per Deadline sources. Compare this to Rogue Nation‘s $546.4M which yielded an estimated $110M profit. Subtract $345M costs from $250M total monies, and Mummy loses $95M. Breaking down Mummy‘s revenue, theatrical global rentals are figured at $146M, domestic pay/network TV net at $17M, global home entertainment net at $52M (versus Rogue Nation‘s $84M net), and foreign TV net at $35M (vs. Rogue Nation‘s $74M). The above estimates do not include residuals, non-theatrical or any Cruise bonuses.

Even Star Wars 7!they were paid very little only getting more money as the film broke records.
Beauty and the beast.

I think this is the new Hollywood, even big names get modest salaries, because of the big budget flops.

Robert Downy jr only get big paydays because he was grandfathered in with a old contract from when hollywood promised 3 movies delivered one maybe two then recast or rebooted before big paydays come in.
