“Ride Along 2” Dethrones “Star Wars” At Box-Office

Fans are excited to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story this December, and of course, 2017’s Episode VIII is worth talking about.

Kevin Hart and Ice Cube put an end to Star Wars’ reign atop the box office chart this weekend.

But there’s no need to feel sorry for Disney. “Star Wars” topples to third place while “The Revenant” took second place, with $25.9 million dollars in ticket sales – $4.4 million dollars more than “Star Wars”. “The Force Awakens” is also the highest-grossing film in the US, and could make its way to the $1 billion mark to become the first movie to do so in the country.

Coming in at spot number four was Michael Bay’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, which earned $16.2 million over the three-day weekend.

The one-two punch that felled Star Wars in its fifth weekend was Ride-Along 2 and The Revenant, which look to close the weekend (official numbers are released Tuesday) with $41.5 million and $39 million, respectively.

Lionsgate’s “Norm Of The North” pulled in $6.7 million from 2,411 locations.

Daddy’s Home rounded out the top five, earning $9.3 million to bring its total to $129.3 million, It would seem Will Ferrell still has some draw at the box office despite a recent string of underperforming comedies before the release of Daddy’s Home. Already holding the record as the highest-grossing domestic release, this weekend raised that bar up to $851 million.

Its domestic total stands at $87.7 million and it should pull in $34 million over the holiday.

Apart from teasing some incredible action to the back half of Season 2, Star Wars Rebels got tongues wagging with a new trailer that seemingly promised ties to The Force Awakens.

Getting an Oscar boost thanks to nominations where No. 8 The Big Short ($5.3M) and No. 10 The Hateful Eight ($3.57M). “The 5th Wave”, $8.2 million. 8. The four-day weekend estimate is $31 million.

All that being said, “Ride Along 2” sits at right about 14% on Rotten Tomatoes – so maybe Redbox it.

The sci-fi blockbuster has now taken £114.0 million at cinemas across the country, according to figures from the British Film Institute (BFI). “Sisters”, $5.5 million. 10. “Boonie Bears III”, $16 million. 4. “Royal Treasure”, $11.5 million. 6. Previous year was led by American Sniper’s stunning $89.3 million three-day start.
