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.
