I watched documentaries and the movie GROUNDHOG DAY on Netflix this weekend. Didn’t even think about going to a theatre.

Bad Boys for Life zooms past competition for third week in a row at the box office

Bad Boys for Life is taking another lap past the finish line at the box office.

For the third week in a row, the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence film took the lead with an estimated $18 million, according to Comscore. Following behind in second place is Sam Mendes’ 1917 with $10 million, and Dolittle in third with $8 million. Closing out the top five is newcomer Gretel and Hansel ($6.1 million), and The Gentlemen ($6 million).

A weekend like Super Bowl keeps people at home much more than a regular weekend. It’s important to keep that in mind while seeing numbers that are normal than usual.

Blake Lively made her big return to the big screen since welcoming her third child with husband Ryan Reynolds this weekend in The Rhythm Section. The action drama tells the story of a grieving daughter (Lively) hellbent on revenge after discovering the plane crash that killed her family wasn’t an accident at all.

The Reed Morano-directed film, based on the Mark Burnell novel of the same name, co-stars Jude Law, Sterling K. Brown, and Max Casella.

EW gave the film a C saying, “Lively digs gamely into the grit of her character, but there’s so little heft behind the script that she often comes across as sullen, or just painfully clueless. (The story also makes her British, though you’d only know it every third or fourth word.). Moviegoers mostly agree, they’ve rated it a C+, according to Cinemascore.

Overall, box office is up 10.8 percent year-to-date, according to Comscore. Check out the Jan. 31-Feb. 2. numbers below:
