1. It (2017) exceeded all expectations and crushed the box office setting several records in the process. The film has an estimated budget of $35 million and it looks as if this film is going to demolish that budget. With that the studio will be willing to up the budget for the next film now that they know how successful they can be. 
2. With It (2017) dominating the box office it really shows how lackluster the film have been over the weeks without any new major releases and once again it shows with second place only making $8.5 million. 
3. Spider-Man: Homecoming continues to hang tough in the top for the 10th consecutive weekend, but it's run is almost over as several new films will push it down the list.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Logan Lucky as it made 62.1% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend. 
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. It (2017) $55 Million
2. American Assassin $23 Million
3. mother! $12 Million
4. Home Again $3 Million
5. The Hitman's Bodyguard $2 Million
