1. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi had a pretty solid weekend at the box office but if you don't count the extra $28 Million from Monday, it only made $71 Million over the weekend which accounted for a 67.5% drop from last week which isn't that surprising considering there were 4 new releases this past weekend.
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle had a really solid opening weekend and it was able to capitalize off of the nostalgia and The Rock's popularity.
3. Both Darkest Hour and The Shape of Water both had solid weekends while getting a wider release and could have some great success down the line.
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi as it made 55% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Darkest Hour as it made 550.7% more than it did last year.
5. I went 2 for 5 on my predictions.
Predictions
1. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi $45 Million
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $21 Million
3. Pitch Perfect $11 Million
4. All the Money in the World $9 Million
5. Ferdinand $5 Million
