1. In a massive surprise, the Boss Baby took over the number spot at the box office with an impressive $50 million+ opening weekend.
2. Ghost in the Shell had a very disappointing opening weekend and unless it gets some massive help from the foreign markets, then the outlook for anime to live-action films isn't the greatest.
3. With this weeks weekend take, Beauty and the Beast (2017) is now just $120 million away from crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Power Rangers (2017) as it made 64.8% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 1 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Beauty and the Beast (2017) $31 Million
2. The Boss Baby $27 Million
3. Smurfs: The Lost Village $19 Million
4. Power Rangers (2017) $10 Million
5. Ghost in the Shell $8 Million
So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of this weekend's box office totals and what are some of your takeaways? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
