Bad Boys For Life was the champion of the new releases in box office this weekend, taking $5.742m across 369 screens to scoop first place on the ranking.

It topped other newcomers Dolittle, with $3.381m across 294 screens, and Bombshell which took $1.841m across 213 screens.

Bad Boys For Life is a sequel to the 2003 film Bad Boys II and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as detectives reuniting to work an old case. Dolittle is yet another film based on Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle book series. This time, Robert Downey Jr is in the titular role, but the film looks to be heading for flop status.
