1. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens continues to top the box office and this weekend it became the 3rd highest grossing film of all-time worldwide and it's on pace to become the first film to gross $1 billion in both the domestic and worldwide box office making it the third film to gross $2 billion all-time.
2. The Revenant had a solid opening weekend after expanding into more theaters and it nearly pulled off the upset over Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
3. Despite negative reviews, The Forest had a really solid opening weekend.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was The Hateful Eight as it made 59.2% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was The Revenant as it made 8,793.3% more than it did last weekend
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Ride Along 2 $50 Million
2. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens $21 Million
3. 13 Hours The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi $19 Million
4. The Revenant $16 Million
5. Daddy's Home $10 Million
