1. The Revenant jumped into the number one spot for the first time in it's 5 week of release.
2. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens continues to stay strong in the top 5 as inches closer to becoming the first film to cross $1 billion domestically and it is on pace to be the third film cross $2 billion worldwide.
3. Ride Along 2 had a huge drop off from week 1 to week which was really surprising to see.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Ride Along 2 as it made 64.7% less than it did last weekend and there was no big winner.
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions.

Predictions
1. Kung Fu Panda 3 $40 Million
2. The Revenant $15  Million
3. Fifty Shades of Black $12 Million
4. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens $10 Million
5. The Finest Hours $9 Million
