“Ride Along 2” cruised to $1.26 Million at the Thursday night previews.
Starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, the sequel to 2014’s “Ride Along” is tracking to open a little under $41 million — that’s the same three-day total that the original debuted with in the same Martin Luther King Day weekend slot two years ago. The first movie grossedย $1.06 million from Thursday night screenings upon its release.
With a budget of $40 million, “Ride Along 2” follows cop Ben Barber (Hart) who heads to Miami with his soon-t0-be brother-in-law James (Ice Cube) — a better cop — to bring down a drug dealer.
