I told him I had no notice of the call

Brand names pummeled big names at theaters this weekend as The Lego Movie steamrolled at the box office.The film version of the 70-year-old toy snapped up $69.1 million, according to studio estimates from Rentrak.The debut exceeded many analysts' lofty expectations and was plenty enough to leave George Clooney's World War II film The Monuments Men a distant second. The movie, which also featured Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett, collected a solid $22.7 million, eclipsing projections by more than $2 million.But it was no match for Lego, which follows Transformers and G.I. Joe as toys that made the successful leap from shelf to screen. Like those franchises, Lego likely ensures it will become a series with the weekend haul, analysts say."Now more than ever, studios are constantly looking to make movies out of pre-existing brands," says Ray Subers of Box Office Mojo.

Then the scam-artist called back to see "if I was doing what he told me to do.The products are also available with features that are modified as Randers Akupunktur the specific requirements stated by the buyers." Kraus did nothing of the kind."My question is: how does this scam play out?" he asked.
