In the wake of Sunday morning's mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub, the pop culture news may seem to fade in significance but popular culture is one way we come together and cope with such tragedy.
Here's what's being talked about in pop culture:
• In what unfortunately will be remembered as this weekend's other tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub, singer and "The Voice" contestant Christina Grimmie died Saturday from gunshot injuries after a Friday concert. [Time]
• The horror sequel "The Conjuring 2" topped the weekend box-office, with $40.35 million. The much-hyped, and much more expensive, "Warcraft" scored a disappointing second place, with $24.35 million though it did better overseas. [Box Office Mojo]
