1. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens continues to have a stranglehold on the box office as well as break records and with this total for the weekend it passed Titanic for number 2 all-time domestic grossing film and when today's numbers are announced tomorrow, that should will push it past Avatar for number 1 domestically and it is still on pace to possibly break Avatar's all-time worldwide record.
2. Daddy's Home had a terrific second weekend as it only dropped 24.6% which is outstanding for any film.
3. The Hateful Eight had a terrific nationwide expansion and it will continue to make money in the coming weeks.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Joy as it made 40% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner was The Hateful Eight as it made 240.7% more than it did last weekend.
5. I went 3 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens $65 Million
2. Daddy's Home $17 Million
3. The Revenant $16 Million
4. The Forrest $13 Million
5. The Hateful Eight $10 Million
So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of this weekend's box office totals and what are some of your takeaways? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
