This weekend saw a new film take control of the weekend box office as Bad Boys for Life and Dolittle both debuted this weekend in the first and second positions of the countdown, respectively. The Will Smith and Martin Lawrence sequel brought in $59.2 million, easily besting second-place finisher Dolittle which managed a $22.5 million weekend debut.
Just Mercy gave away only one spot as it finished in sixth place this weekend earning $6.0 million and raising its four-week tally to $19.6 million. Also falling one spot was Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, which added $5.9 million over the weekend to give the film a four-week total of $84.4 million. Similarly dropping a spot in this weekend’s top ten was Knives Out, which finished in eighth place this weekend with $4.3 million. Plummeting to ninth place from fourth was the comedy Like a Boss, which took in $3.8 million to give it a two-week total of $16.9 million.
Finally, the tenth spot in this weekend’s top ten belongs to Frozen II, which managed to bring in $3.7 million in its ninth weekend of release and raise its domestic total so far to $464.9 million.
The horror/drama Underwater left the top ten, only sporting a $7.0 million showing over the weekend, which gives the film a disappointing two-week total of $12.8 million, while the animated comedy Spies in Disguise managed to take in $5.2 million over the weekend despite dropping from the top ten, the film now sports a four-week total of $58.4 million.
