‘Lego Batman’ producer today. Treasury secretary tomorrow?
Steven Mnuchin spent a very good weekend.
First of all, the secretary of the Treasury advanced one more step towards confirmation on Friday.
Then his latest film won first place at the box office.
Mnuchin is executive producer of Warner Bros. “The Lego Batman Movie”, which attracted $ 55.6 million to the American public during its opening weekend.
CNN, like Warner Bros., belongs to Time Warner.
The 2014 spin-off for children from “The Lego Movie” beat its hot competitor, “Fifty Shades Darker” by Universal.
The suite of “Fifty Shades of Gray” from 2015, based on a series of successful romantic novels, made its debut at $ 46.8 million in the United States.

Mnuchin is listed as an executive producer on 34 films in recent years, including “Suicide Squad” last summer, which reported $ 786 million worldwide.
He also produced “The Lego Ninjago Movie”, another Lego franchise spin-off that will be released on screens this fall.
Mnuchin should then be secretary of the Treasury at that time.
After a vote of 53-46 last Friday to break a democratic filibusier, Mnuchin is scheduled for a final vote before the full Senate at 7 p.m. Monday.
