Bad Boys For Life Stays Top Of Box Office Chart, The Turning Flops

The action sequel Bad Boys For Life remained the biggest movie in the US for the second weekend running, proving that a 17-year-gap since the latest entry in the series hasn't lessened its appeal. The film, which reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, made an estimated $34 million in three days, bringing its domestic total to $120.6 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $215.6 million so far, making it very likely that Bad Boys 4 will happen.

The next two places on the chart also remained unchanged from last week. Sam Mendes' acclaimed World War 1 drama 1917 held onto second place, making an estimated $15.8 million to bring it to $103.8 million in the US. The film has done extremely well internationally as well; so far it's made $200.4 million worldwide, and with the potential of Oscar success in a couple of weeks, this total could well rise higher.

The big-budget family feature Dolittle remained at No. 3, with an estimated weekend gross of $12.5 million. The film, which features Robert Downey Jr. in his first post-Marvel role, has been the year's first big commercial disappointment. It had a reported production budget of $175 million, but has to date made only $91 million. It has been estimated that the movie could lose as much as $100 million for Universal.

The week's highest new entry was Guy Ritchie's crime comedy The Gentlemen, which debuted at No. 4 with an $11 million weekend take. The movie opened on 2,165 screens, but Box Office Mojo states that distributors STXFilms are planning a "significant expansion" in theaters next weekend.

The week's other new entry was the horror movie The Turning, which entered the chart at No.6, one place below Jumanji: The Next Level. The Turning is a remake of the classic horror story The Turn of the Screw, and its disappointing $7.3 million opening take was met by poor reviews. In her review for GameSpot, Meg Downey described the movie as "a waste of time."

The rest of the box office Top 10 featured movies that have been on release for several weeks, including Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at No.7 and Little Women at No.8. You can see the complete weekend box office numbers below.

Total War: Three Kingdoms Hotfix 1.4.1 Full Patch Notes

The 1.4.1 hotfix patch for Total War: Three Kingdoms is now live. The latest update fixes numerous issues, makes some important adjustments, and rebalances unit costs in multiplayer. Among the bug fixes, Cao Song has been giving a personality change so that he's no longer identified as an Incompetent Leader (good for him). An issue where generals and heroes were not spawning at full strength has also been fixed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will no longer spawn twice in Liu Bei's campaign, and Guo Jia's spawning age has been corrected. Crashes are now less likely to happen in existing save games for the new court feature, too, but it's still recommended that players start a new campaign. Particular attention has also been paid to Liu Hong's campaign, including fixing a bug that reduced fervour rather than increasing it when the Tax Collector building was constructed, reducing the starting strength of the Imperial Army, and helping to rebalance the amount of money avail...
