1. Despite excellent reviews and having the third highest opening weekend of any Star Trek film, it still had the lowest opening weekend out the three new Star Trek films
2. Ghostbusters (2016) continues to be a financial failure as it has yet to cross the $150 million mark worldwide and a sequel looks unlikely.
3. Finding Dory continues to hang around in the top 10 and it currently sits as the 4th highest grossing Pixar film of all-time. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Ghostbuster (2016) as it made 54.3% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party as it made 5,199.3% more than it did last weekend.
5. I went 3 for 5 on my predictions.

Predictions
1. Jason Bounre $85 Million
2. Star Trek Beyond $30 Million
3. The Secret Life of Pets $17 Million
4. Nerve $13 Million
5. Lights Out $11 Million
