This week, The Boys plow through the Top 5 and discuss how The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It was able to dethrone A Quiet Place Part II at the top of the Box Office, whether or not Godzilla vs Kong will beat AQPPII to $100 Million, and why Cruella’s B.O. is not indicative of its overall success (2:00).  Then we come to grips with the Federal Trade Commission’s reports of fraudulent behavior committed by MoviePass and its onetime CEO Mitch Lowe’s. This one is personal, so The Boys make a call to action: https://mashable.com/article/moviepass-scam-ftc-complaint/ (34:20). We switch gears to tackle The New York Times BELATED attempts to get into the Box Office reporting game: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/04/opinion/movie-theaters-box-office.html (52:13). And finally, we make our predictions for In The Heights and Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, both opening June 11th (1:06:24)   The-Numbers Weekend Top 5 (June 4 - 6) 1.
