The third entry into the buddy cop film franchise saw it bring in an additional $34 million, to push its 10-day total to $120.6 million. Bad Boys for Life is on pace to set a new franchise high, surpassing Bad Boys II's $138.6 million total, ensuring a fourth entry will be in the works.
Remaining in second place was Sam Mendes' World War I epic, 1917. The war drama saw a slight dip in its performance at the box office, but with a growing expansion, the film brought in an additional $15.8 million to help it cross the $100 million threshold domestically.
Also retaining its spot from last weekend was the Robert Downey Jr. adventure/comedy Dolittle. Despite missing the mark with critics, audiences have taken a liking to the picture, which is doing somewhat better business than initially expected. In its second weekend of release it brought in $12.5 million, to push its 10-day total to $44.7 million.
Making its debut in fourth place was Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen. The slick crime comedy brought in just over $11 million, which is far off from Ritchie's 2019 film Aladdin, but closer to his 2015 adaptation of a '60s TV show, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Bringing up the rear in the top five was Sony's hit sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level. It earned another $7.9 million this weekend, pushing its domestic total to $283.4 million. ~Paolo Maquiraya
