1. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens continues to smash box office records and it is on an amazing pace to possibly unseat Avatar as the highest grossing film of all-time.
2. Despite horrible reviews, Daddy's Home made almost $40 million taking away quite a bit of money from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
3. The Hateful Eight climbed into the top 10 despite being in only 100 theaters and look for it to climb a few spots next week when it expands into more theaters.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens as it made 39.8% less than it did last week and the biggest winner of the weekend was The Big Short as it made 2,683.9% more than it did last weekend.
5. I went 3 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens $100 Million
2. Daddy's Home $18 Million
3. The Hateful Eight $14 Million
4. Joy $10 Million
5. Sisters $8 Million
