1. Suicide Squad continues to hold onto the number one spot at the box office.
2. The Secret Life of Pets continues to stay strong in the top ten for the 7th consecutive weekend in a row.
3. To go along with the poor reviews, Ben-Hur (2016) can be considered a flop and it will be lucky to break even.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Suicide Squad as it made 52.1% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions
Predictions
1. Suicide Squad $17 Million
2. Don't Breathe $15 Million
1. Suicide Squad $17 Million
2. Don't Breathe $15 Million
3. Sausage Party $13 Million
4. Mechanic: Resurection $12 Million
4. Mechanic: Resurection $12 Million
5. War Dogs $9 Million
