1. Once again The Fate of the Furious held onto the number one spot at the box office and will likely hold onto it for at least one more weekend before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is released next weekend.
2. Despite its massive drop in money, The Fate of the Furious had a solid weekend around the world as it now sits at just a little over $900 million worldwide and it's expected to cross the $1 billion mark next week.
3. All of the new releases this week had really awful weekends, which might be the first awful opening weekend of the year.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was The Fate of the Furious as it made 61.6% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was The Lost City of Z as it made 1,825.6% more than it did last weekend.
5. I went 1 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. The Fate of the Furious $22 Million
2. The Circle $13
3. The Boss Baby $9 Million
4. Beauty and the Beast $6 Million
5. Going in Style $2 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.
