However, it is worth saying that it is now the highest grossing R-rated film of all time – yes, it even surpassed Deadpool 2. The film is currently sitting at a truly impressive $850 million worldwide as of the time of this writing,…

The five hitmen each avoided carrying out the murder in order to profit from the ordeal. It appears a Chinese businessman named Tan Youhui was paying to have one of his competitors, Wei Mou, killed. He offered 2 million yuan ($282,769.40 USD) for the hitman who could complete the criminal task. It was here when things began to get complicated. This could only happen in China, or a Cohen Brothers…

The McKamey Manor haunted house requires visitors to sign a 40-page waiver, pass a physical and undergo a background check. But once you go through these steps, and potentially make it through the entire…
