Google WiFi asks for device name

Hello -

I asked the following question of my Google WiFI just now "Hey Google - what was the top grossing movie in America last week?"

It responded that it needed the device name. No idea why, since I had just asked for tomorrow's weather locally and where my daughter goes to college & did not need to provide device name.

My Google Nest devices are simply named - Kitchen WiFi, Basement WiFi, etc

I repeated the question and added "Kitchen WiFi" and then "Kitchen" at the end and google kept repeating that it needed the device name. I tried the same question in the basement and it asked the same question and would not accept my answers for device.

Why would it even need device name for a question not related to music? Why can't it just say "according to XYZ website, the top movie last week was 'Wonka'" (I just manually looked it up)
