1. Jigsaw was able to take over the number one spot at the weekend and it while the film has received mixed reviews, it only opened better than one previous Saw film (Saw VI) which doesn't bode well for the future of the franchise.
2. It continues to hang on in the top 10, but will likely fall out with several new releases hitting theaters this weekend.
3. Staying on Blade Runner 2049 watch, with this weekends total, it helped the film reach the $223 Million mark worldwide, but it still needs to at least hit $400 million to even come close to helping the studio breaking even.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Geostorm as it made 56.9% less than it did last weekend and there was no biggest winner of the weekend.
5. I went 3 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Thor: Ragnarok $100 Million
2. Jigsaw $10 Million
2. Jigsaw $10 Million
3. Tyler Perry’s Boos 2! A Madea Halloween $6 Million
4. Geostorm $3 Million
5. Happy Death Day $2 Million
