We all know what will take over next weekend, with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 tracking at $130 million over the weekend, but could still eclipse Catching Fire’s $158 million opening weekend. However, you should still comment with what you think the rest of the order could be. Do you think Gone Girl will finally drop out of the top 5, or will it be able to stick around again?
