Sean O'Connell, Managing Director at CinemaBlend, talks "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and how the film might perform throughout the rest of the holiday after a stunning opening weekend. We also talk some of the year's most talked-about films still scheduled to come out this holiday season.

We talk Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks' historical drama "The Post," due out this week and Aaron Sorkin's latest "Molly's Game," which picked up Golden Globe nominations for both its writer and star. We talk the "Jumanji" remake, "Pitch Perfect 3," and "The Greatest Showman."
