1. Once again, The Hitman's Bodyguard held onto the number one spot fairly easy without much competition. 

2. The lack of a massive blockbuster out in theaters is really starting to show in the box office returns as this is the worst weekend since September 2001 and that month had a good reason to be bad at the movies. 

3. Just to show how much of massive draw Mayweather vs. McGregor was this weekend, the fathom events screenings of the event intake were able to make it into the top highest grossing films of the weekend also this not being the most competitive weekend at the box office helps too. 

4. The biggest loser of the weekend was The Hitman's Bodyguard as it made 52% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Wind River as it made 54.6% more than it did last weekend. 

5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions

1. The Hitman's Bodyguard $7 Million
2. Annabelle: Creation $4 Million

3. Leap! $2.5 Million

4. Wind River $2 Million

5. Logan Lucky $1 Million
