1. Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews, Blade Runner 2049 had a pretty disappointing opening weekend and no it looks as if it might not make back it's budget of $200 Million. 
2. Overall this was a completely disappointing weekend for new releases and it might be one of the poorer first weekends in October that we've seen in a while. 
3. It (2017) continues to stay strong in the top 5 for the 5th consecutive weekend and it could end with a double digit weekend run in the top 10. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Kingsman: The Golden Circle as it made 48.8% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Victoria and Abdul as it made 282% more than it did last weekend. 
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions.

Predictions
1. The Foreigner $23 Million
2. Blade Runner: 2049 $15 Million
3. Happy Death Day $12 Million
4. It (2017) $7 Million
5. The Mountain Between Us $5 Million
