1. For the second consecutive weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy grabbed the number on spot at the box office, but it may lose its spot with Alien: Covenant set to hit theaters this weekend.
2. For the 9th consecutive weekend, Beauty and the Beast (2017) made it into the top 5 and it may stay in the top 10 for the next 3 to 4 weeks.
3. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is the first official flop of the summer as it only made $44 million worldwide in its opening weekend and it looks doubtful that it make its $175 million budget and it would need $450 million more to break even.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 as it made 55.5% less than it did last weekend and while it didn't gain money this past weekend, Beauty and the Beast (2017) only made 5.5% less than it did last weekend and inched closer to cracking the top 10 highest grossing films of all-time as it only needs $7.5 million to pass Iron Man 3.
5. I went 4 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Alien: Covenant $75 Million
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 $28 Million
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul $9 Million
4. Snatched $8 Million
5. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword $5 Million
