Jumanji and The Greatest Showman continue to have incredible staying power in their 7th weeks, the former regaining its #1 berth and Showman holding tight at four...

The Best Picture nominees, save The Post (a hit) and The Shape of Water (finally hitting its stride) all finished outside the top ten but they're all doing steady business (and clogging up theaters for newer films with their long rooms).

That's all not leaving much oxygen for the  limited release films like The Insult and A Fantastic Woman, both nominated in foreign film, to breathe as they begin their runs. It may take an unexpected win to give either of them much time to find their audience.
