The 10th installment in the “Fast and Furious” franchise starring Vin Diesel brought in $23 million domestically for a two-week total of $108 million.

Jewish groups and city officials protest against Roger Waters concert in Frankfurt

Several Jewish groups, politicians and an alliance of civil society groups have gathered for a memorial ceremony and a protest rally against a concert by Roger Waters in Frankfurt. They accuse the Pink Floyd co-founder of antisemitism - an allegation he denies. Waters has also drawn their ire for his support of the BDS movement, which calls for boycotts and sanctions against Israel. Frankfurt authorities had initially tried to prevent the concert on Sunday evening taking place, but Waters challenged that move successfully in a local court. The concert is taking place in the city’s Festhalle, where in November 1938 more than 3,000 Jews were rounded up by the Nazis, beaten and abused, and later deported to concentration camps.
