1. The Hitman's Bodyguard was able to take over the number one spot, but with a less than stellar number, but good enough for the film to be on pace to make back it's budget and then some. 
2. Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to hold on strong in the top 10 for the 7th consecutive weekend in a row and it looks as if when it ends it's run it will cross $800 million worldwide which will place it third in the Spider-Man film history only behind Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3.
3. The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature continues to do abysmal work at the box office and it will end up costing the studio a lot of money. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Annabelle: Creation as it made 55.4% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Wind River as it made 378% more than it did last weekend. 
5. I went 5 for 5 on my predictions.


Predictions
1. The Hitman's Bodyguard $18 Million
2. Annabelle: Creation $11 Million
3. Logan Lucky $6 Million
4. Dunkirk $4 Million
5. Leap! $3 Million
