The board of Papa John’s International Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) may vote on a way to partially take control from its disgraced founder. According to The Wall Street Journal:

A Denzel Washington movie was the winner at the weekend box office. According to Box Office Mojo:
At the top of the box office, Sony’s release of The Equalizer 2, starring Denzel Washington and directed by Antoine Fuqua, delivered an estimated $35.8 million, topping the $34.1 million opening for the first film. The film’s second place performance comes as a result of holding on just a bit better than the Mamma Mia! sequel on Saturday, though once weekend actuals are in it could turn into a slightly tighter race than the $1.44 million that currently separate the two. That said, we aren’t expecting the top two positions to change.

But a closer look at Musk’s comment raises a different reason for concern: The prospect that new orders may not keep up with Tesla’s long-awaited production ramp-up at its suburban San Francisco assembly plant.
