1. For the first time in 3 weeks, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle isn't the number one film thanks to Maze Runner: The Death Cure jumping up to that spot. 
2. For the first time in 7 weeks, Star Wars Episode VIII: isn't in the top 10, however it is still on pace to pass Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 for 8th highest grossing film of all-time. 
3. With this past weekends intake,  Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle passed Spider-Man: Homecoming for 5th place on the highest grossing domestic films of 2017. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was 12 Strong as it made 45.1% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Hostiles as it made 1,642,4% more than it did last weekend. 
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. Maze Runner: The Death Cure $16 Million
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $14 Million 
3. Winchester $11 Million
4. Hostiles $6 Million
5. The Greatest Showman $5 Million
