1. Unsurprisingly Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi took over the number one spot and it had the second highest opening weekend in the history of film only behind Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
2. Ferdinand had a really solid opening weekend despite it going head to head with Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.
3. Just to show how crazy the box office was this weekend, Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi made as much domestically in one the weekend as Justice League has in it's 5 week run and it also made just as much as Coco has made worldwide in it's 4 week run.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was The Disaster Artist as it made 57.3% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 1 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi $135 Million
2. Pitch Perfect 3 $50 Million
3. Father Figures $21 Million
4. Downsizing $12 Million
5. Ferdinand $7 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.
