1. Don't Breathe was able to knock off Suicide Squad for the number one spot and it had a solid opening weekend making over $26 million.
2. With the help of a lot of strong opening weekend reviews, Kubo and the Two Strings was able to jump up from the number 4 spot to the number 3 spot this weekend.
3. Ben-Hur is going to have a tough time making back it's money and with it dropping so significantly, it may lose Paramount quite a bit of money.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Ben-Hur (2016) as it made 59.3% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 0 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Don't Breathe $15 Million
2. Morgan $13 Million
1. Don't Breathe $15 Million
2. Morgan $13 Million
3. Kubo and the Two Strings $6 Million
4. Suicide Squad $4 Million
4. Suicide Squad $4 Million
5. Sausage Party $ 3 Million
