The big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey," starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson, was shown at 3,646 locations in North America. And it is likely to gain another 10 million dollars on President's Day holiday which falls on Monday.

Millions of soccer fans in China are now getting up in the middle of night or staying awake to watch the Football World Cup being played in distant Brazil. Inspired by the talent of the best soccer players and the overwhelming international attention that the World Cup gets, many Chinese soccer fans may be wondering how long they will have to wait to see the tournament being played on home turf. It could happen sooner than some think.
Within days of the conclusion of the World Cup on July 13 (July 14 in China), Michael J. Garcia yeezy boost 350 moonrock uk , FIFA's chief investigator, is expected to submit the results of his yearlong investigation into possible corruption in the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.

Japan and South Korea, co-hosts of the only World Cup played in Asia in 2002 yeezy boost 350 pirate black uk , are not likely to be awarded another soon. And Middle East countries in general might be tainted by the Qatari controversy. So China could emerge as a strong contender to host the 2022 Cup.
FIFA sponsors might love the idea. Unlike Qatar, which would be the least
