Bad Boys 3 bests Dolittle at box office



For the weekend of January 17-19, 2020, Bad Boys for Life was the hit Will Smith needed after Gemini Man flopped, and Martin Lawrence has got to be happy to be there. It’s another hit for Sony, which had another Jumanji movie, and it’s getting steady legs for the heavily-nominated Little Women. (Meanwhile let’s forget their Grudge reboot dropped 75% in its third week.)

Dolittle had been originally envisioned as a new franchise, but after disastrous re-shoots and a bloated budget, Universal saw the stink bomb they had and moved it to January. Meanwhile they added more screen for 1917, which is that studio’s bright spot. (Universal’s Christmas release? Cats.)

The Rise of Skywalker has crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide.

THE GENTLEMEN with Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant.
THE TURNING with Mackenzie Davis, Finn Wolfhard and Brooklynn Prince.
