1. Despite mixed reviews, Focus claimed the number 1 spot at the box office.
2. Word of mouth continues to help Kingsman as it remains in second place for the third week.
3. It looks as if Fifty Shades of Grey has lot all of its steam as it fell the the number 4 spot in its second week.
4. The The Lazarus Effect had a very disappointing weekend and the horrible reviews didn't help.
5. The biggest loser of the week was Hot Tub Time Machine 2 as it made 59% less than it did last week and the biggest winner of the week was Still Alice as it made 24.4% more than it did last week.
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.
