1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has had an absolutely outstanding run at the box office and this past weekend it made just as much as it did in it's opening weekend 3 weeks ago if you don't count the Christmas day numbers. 
2. With this weekends numbers Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi now sits at 13th all-time on the list of highest grossing films of all-time worldwide and will likely move into the top 10 all-time by this weekend. 
3. Once again Coco remains in the top 10 for a 7th straight weekend but that run looks to be coming to an end with several new releases coming out this upcoming weekend. 
4. The biggest loser of the weekend was Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi as it made 54.8% less than it did last weekend and the biggest winner of the weekend was Molly's Game as it made 191.8% more than it did last weekend. 
5. I went 0 for 5 on my predictions. 

Predictions
1. The Commuter $25 Million
2. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $21 Million
3. Paddington 2 $17 Million
4. Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi $16 Million
5. The Greatest Showman $10 Million
