Weekend Box Office: ‘Lego Movie’ and romantic trio lift up holiday weekend

Drake and Stromae: In a time of international unity, how similar are we?
The Olympics are often seen as a time of international unity, when countries can set aside their differences in order to celebrate humanity’s greatest athletic achievements.
