Good news for the new comedy with YBF stars Kevin Hart, Ice Cube & Tika Sumpter! The case just nabbed the #1 spot at the box office with Ride Along. Deets inside...
Opening weekend for the Tim Story-directed comedy Ride Along was a big one. The $25 million flick reportedly raked in $32 million dollars. And it easily beat out Mark Wahlberg's Lone Survivor, which is in it's second week and came in at #2.
The funny flick is set to reach $39 mill once this MLK Holiday weekend wraps up.
Kevin, who did a few theater pop-ups this weekend with his co-stars, saluted producer Will Packer saying:
I gotta take the time to thank my brother-friend-Partner in crime @willpowerpacker ....We started out with "Think Like A Man" & went on to do "Ride Along" "About Last Night" "Think Like A Man Too" & "Wedding Ringer" ....Thank you for believing in my talent when nobody else did man!!!
