1. The Lego Batman Movie continues to reign supreme at the box office by claiming the number one spot for consecutive weeks. 
2. Eventhough it had a pretty disappointing domestic opening weekend, The Great Wall had great foreign numbers, but it'll be a tough road ahead to make back its budget. 
3. Despite horrible reviews, Fifty Shades Darker is on pace to match Fifty Shades of Grey in worldwide box office numbers. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Fifty Shades Darker as it made 56.5% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 5 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. The Lego Batman Movie $23 Million
2. Get Out $17 Million
3. Fifty Shades Darker $14 Million
4. The Great Wall $10 Million
5. John Wick: Chapter 2 $8 Million
