Looks like Kevin Hart has another feather to fit in his cap with this weekend’s Box Office results. His sequel, Think Like a Man Too, has grossed $30 mil and took the top spot! The movie didn’t really have much competition from his fellow newcomer, Jersey Boys, as the movie opened to horrible reviews and with $14.5 mil in sales, it had bad numbers to reflect those reviews.
The first Think Like a Man did slightly better when it premiered a few years ago, starting out at $33mil. Given that these films can’t cost too much to make, I’d say the studio still has a win on it’s hands. Last week’s winners, 22 Jump Street and How to Train a Dragon 2 took mild dips this week, but still consistent to stay in the Top 5.

Next week, we see the return of Michael Bay and his robots in disguise. There’s no doubt it will be #1 at the Box Office, the question is how much will it make? Bay states there’s a darker storyline and a ton of new Transformers; including the Dinobots. My prediction is at least $90 million. Find out on the next Weekend Roundup to see if I was right!
