ROMANS: All right. Welcome back. Let's get an early start on your money. Monday edition, stocks futures are higher this morning building off last week's impressive weekly gain. The Dow and the S&P 500 gained more than 3 percent. The Nasdaq rose 2.4 percent. The fed reassured that it would remain patient with interest rate increases. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 have had double digit gains. Many analysts expect more gains potentially into the New Year. Christmas is just days away. Retailers are betting Super Saturday will save the holiday shopping season. Black Friday sales were down 11 percent from last year. Shopping Track predicts sales this past weekend will hit $10 billion, $1 billion more than Black Friday. A separate survey by America's research group found 44.6 percent of consumers did not buy anything this past weekend, did not go shopping. That is the largest share of American consumers everywhere. The holidays are big time for the box office, of course. Did you know 2014 was the box office flop? This year, tickets sales $10.5 billion down 4 percent. That is according to box office data. There were successes, "Lego" and "Guardians Of Galaxy." But the "New York Times" reporting that this is the lowest tally since 2000, in fact, profits for the two biggest theater chains were less than half of what they were last year. There is so much to cover including the response to the tragic killing of two police officers in Brooklyn in New York on Saturday night, and these new evolving threats against the police and what it means for the relationship with the public and police force. Chris Cuomo will cover that on "NEW DAY."
Super Saturday to Save Holiday Shopping Season?
