WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: 1917 rides awards buzz to the top of the chart with 36.5MM in its first weekend of wide release; it could hold well over the upcoming MLK Day weekend.  The Rise of Skywalker places with 15MM on another 56 percent drop; it's playing more like Rogue One than The Last Jedi and will tap out somewhere around 520-530MM domestic (TLJ made it to 600MM iirc).  Jumanji: The Next Level shows with 14MM on a 47 percent drop and looks to tap out around 300MM domestic.  Like A Boss debuts in the fourth slot with 10MM, which is not great against a 30MM budget.  The wide expansion of Just Mercy rounds out the Top Five with 10MM and will likely get a bump from the upcoming holiday weekend.
