1. Unsurprisingly The Fate of the Furious claimed the number one spot at the box office and with its worldwide haul this past week, it officially crossed the $1 Billion mark making it the 30th film ever to cross that mark and it will probably end up in the top 15 all-time by the end of its run.
2. In what is one of the more surprising moments of the year so far and that is the fact that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion brought it $10 million whist only being in 425 screens and averaging $24,000 per screen which is remarkable considering the lack of marketing in the film and having no major stars.
3. On the flip side of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, The Circle, which had stars like Tom Hanks and Emma Watson barely made over $9 million and it only averaged $3,000 per screen which is something that should not happen with the caliber of talent involved and it looks like it might not make back it's total production budget.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Unforgettable as it made 49.6% 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. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 $130 Million
2. The Fate of the Furious $12 Million
3. How to be a Latin Lover $4 Million
4. The Boss Baby $2 Million
5. The Circle $1 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.
