Even an adorable Yeti was not a match for the comedy team of Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart.
"Night School", Universal's comedy, dominated the national box office with $ 28 million spread over 3,010 locations. The new animated film "Warner Bros.", which debuted in 4,100 screens, won $ 23 million.
Night School, which cost $ 29 million, marks the biggest opening of the year for a major comedy. The PG-13 film gathers Haddish with the director of Girls Trip, Malcolm D. Lee, and producer Will Packer. "Night School", however, did not receive the same praise as "Girls Trip. "Night School" generated a low average of 31% for Rotten Tomatoes, while "Girls Trip" earned a 90% certified rating.
"Night School" seems to be another victory for Haddish, who continues to prove his bankability on the big screen. This is good news for the studios since the comedian has a lot of titles that touch the multiplexes in the months to come.
"Smallfoot," which includes the voice of the Channing Tatum ensemble, James Corden, Common, LeBron James and Zendaya, is another film destined to reach a younger audience in recent weeks. The animated title has a budget of $ 80 million. Karey Kirkpatrick, known for her work on "James and the Giant Peach," "Charlotte's Web" and "Over the Hedge," co-wrote and directed the film.
