Star Wars Loses Box Office Throne, Kevin Hart Snatches it Up

In its fourth week since it’s release Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens has lost it’s number one box office spot. From this point forward, Star Wars fans will have to remember that Ride Along 2 starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube was the movie that came along and knocked it down a peg. According to Box Office Mojo, Ride Along 2 was projected to take in over $34 million this weekend, with The Revenant pulling in a strong $29 million second place.

Ride Along 2 is now the sixth number 1 opener for the world’s biggest comedian, Kevin Hart. Star Wars would be smart to just sign him up next time. Have him play Luke’s funny best friend.
