1. Unsurprisingly, The Girl on the Train took the number one spot at the box office.
2. No film in the top 10 this week has been for more than 5 months which makes the box office feel fresh with plenty of new films for everyone to see.
3. Despite all of the controversy surrounding the film, The Birth of a Nation had a solid opening weekend for a film in limited release.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as it made 47,6% less than it did last weekend.
5. I went 5 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Kevin Hart: What Now? $35 Million
2. The Accountant $22 Million
1. Kevin Hart: What Now? $35 Million
