‘Ride Along’ Does the Monster Mash on ‘I, Frankenstein’ in Repeat Box-Office Win (Video)

Kevin Hart-Ice Cube comedy crushes Aaron Eckhart’s horror remake. With “Lone Survivor” runner-up, Universal has top two films for 2nd straight week

The Kevin Hart-Ice Cube comedy “Ride Along” cruised to a repeat win at the weekend box office, rolling up just over $21 million in its second lap.

In the process, it blew the doors off the weekend’s only wide opener, “I, Frankenstein,” the special effects-heavy remake of Mary Shelley’s horror classic starring Aaron Eckhart, which finished sixth with a weak $8.2 million three-day total.

The runner-up movie was the Afghan War drama “Lone Survivor” with $12.6 million, giving Universal Pictures the top two movies for the second week in a row and its third straight weekend win.
