1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story had a solid opening weekend and even exceeded expectations that had it making $125 million in the weeks leading up to the release.
2. Doctor Strange has a had a really great run as it has stayed in the top 10 for 7 conseutive weeks and has a slim chance to stay in the top 10 this coming weekend.
3. Speaking of long stays, it looks as if Moana will have a nice 2 1/2 month run in the top 10 depending how newer releases fare in the coming weeks.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Nocturnal Animals as it made 55.5% less than it did last weekend and the biigest winner of the weekend was La La Land as it made 365.5% more than it did last weekend.
5. I wnet 3 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story $86 million
2. Sing $40 Million
3. Passengers $ 21 million
1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story $86 million
