1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was able to retake the number one spot and it was able to cross the $855 million mark and it's still going strong and it has a pretty decent shot to make $1 Billion. 
2. Overall this was a really poor weekend at the box office considering its the first week of February. But business is about to pick up this weekend with Fifty Shades Freed set to hit theaters. 
3. Winchester had a pretty poor opening weekend when nothing else was coming out against it. 
4. The biggest lower of the weekend was Maze Runner: The Death Cure as it made 56.7% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend. 
5. I went for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. Fifty Shades Freed $61 Million
2. Peter Rabbitt: $21 Million
3. 15:17 to Paris $13 Million
4. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $8 Million
5. Maze Runner: The Death Cure $6 Million
