1. In what was a very close race, Alien: Covenant took over the number one spot, but it won't hold onto that spot for long.
2. With this weekends worldwide intake, Beauty and the Beast (2017) officially passed Iron Man 3 for the 10th highest grossing film of all-time. However it will be a tall task for it climb any higher after 10 weeks and Frozen sitting at the 9th spot with a $54.2 million difference between them.
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul had a poor opening weekend making 50% less than what its predecessor made and the outlook for the franchise as a whole doesn't look well.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Snatched 59.9% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 4 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales $101 Million
2. Baywatch $25 Million
3. Alien: Covenant $16 Million
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 $15 Million
5. Snatched $3 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.
