1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle held onto the number one spot for the second consecutive weekend as it continues its impressive run at the box office and with a solid weekend next week, it will cross into the top 100 highest grossing films of all-time. 
2. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi was able to finally cross into the top 10 highest grossing films of all-time and will likely finish around 8th all-time. 
3. The Post also had a very successful weekend at the box office as it jumped from 15th to 2nd after expanding into more theaters this past weekend setting up to try to appease to more Oscar voters as we prepare for nominations. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Insidious: The Last Key as it made 57.9% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was The Post as it made 1,036.6% more than it did last weekend
5. I went 0 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. 12 Strong $19 Million
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $18 Million
3. The Post $13 Million
4. Den of Thieves $10 Million
5. The Greatest Showman $9 Million
