1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story continues to hold on the number spot and it continues to get closer and closer to the $1 billion mark and it should do that in the next couple of weeks. 
2. Once again Moana stays in the top 10 and it even moved up the chart and it may reach 10 weeks straight at the pace it is on. 
3. A few Oscar contenders have finally shown up in the top 10 and more will continue to show up as we get closer to the Oscars.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as it made 22,6% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was La La Land as it made 65.7% more than it did last weekend.
5. I went 5 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story $26 Million
2. Sing $23 Million
3. Underworld: Blood Wars $12 Million
4. Passengers $10 Million
5. Moana $8 Million
