1. Hidden Figures continues to have a strong run as it holds onto the number one spot for the second consecutive weekend.

2. All of the new openings had very poor weekends and they'll be lucky to make back their budget.

3. For the first time in 2 months Moana is not in the top 10.

4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Underworld: Blood Wars as it made 54.7% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Patriots Day as it made 10,981.5% more than it did last weekend.

5. I went 0 for 5 on my predictions.

Predictions
1. Split $25 Million
2. xXx: The Return of Xander Cage $17 Million 
3. Hidden Figures $13 Million 

4. La La Land $12 Million
5. Sing $8 Million
