1. American Sniper came out of nowhere and destroyed the box office this weekend by bringing an impressive $110 million for the Martin Luther king Jr. holiday weekend
2. Paddington and The Wedding Ringer both had very solid opening weekends.
3. The other new wide release Blackhat did not even crack the top 10
4. Taken 3 was the biggest loser of the weekend by making 55% less than it's opening weekend last week and the biggest winner of the weekend was American Sniper by making 18,421,4% more money than last weekend and yes you read that number right.
5. Overall this was a really solid holiday weekend at the box office
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.
