This week's theme in popular articles revolves entirely around mass media productions, with the Straight Outta Compton docudrama feature yielding multiple top-popularity articles for the third week in a row, a new docudrama series taking the 1st and 4th places, a dead horror movie mogul in 2nd, a dead-on-arrival movie in 8th, and two new video games completing the top ten. A couple interesting selections from the most edited articles are the European migrant crisis and anti-gay marriage county clerk Kim Davis.
