Avengers: Endgame Is Breaking Ticket Records And Ticket Websites
Michael Jackson Director Admits To Holes In Accusers Stories
Leaving Neverland direc- tor Dan Reed has cast doubt on the documentary’s credi- bility. According to Mirror Online, Reed admitted the timeline given by alleged vic- tim James Safechuck doesn’t fit the dates given in the series.
Safechuck alleged the King of Pop sexually abused him in an upstairs room at Neverland’s train station. Jackson biographer Mike Smallcombe has dissected his story and says it’s impos- sible considering it was built two years after Safechuck said the assaults stopped.
To support his case, Smallcombe shared the construction permits to Twit- ter, showing the Neverland train station was approved on September 2, 1993 and opened in 1994.
Reed responded directly to Smallcombe’s claims,

which only threw fuel on the fire when Reed suggested Safechuck was confused about when the abuse oc- curred.
“Yeah there seems to be no doubt about the station date,” Reed tweeted. “The date they have wrong is the end of the abuse.”
Smallcombe told Mir- ror Online Reed’s response was “embarrassing.”
It has only been a few days since tickets for Avengers: Endgame went on sale and the 3hrs and 12minute movie is already destroying ticket pre-sale records. We would make a joke about the pre- sale records fading to dust, as if they got snapped by Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet powers, but that would be in- sensitive to the many Marvel characters who actually died in Infinity War.
Anyway, Deadline says
AVENGERS
that Endgame topped Fan- dango’s existing record for first-day ticket sales in a mat-
ter of six hours, breaking the record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. Speaking of, Fandango’s whole top five is now entirely dominated by Star Wars se- quels and these two most re- cent Avengers movies, with Infinity War pulling up the rear. Theater chain Regal says that Endgame is outpac- ing every other Marvel movie, having already doubled the first week sales for Infinity War.

The potential legislation seeks to prevent courts from sentencing a person to con- secutive probation sentences and halt extensions of a per- son’s time on probation or parole for not paying fines and fees. The bill aims to es- tablish incentives to reward good behavior as well.
