Bad Boys for Life enjoyed its second week atop the box office, with an estimated $34 million. This brings the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence threequel to over $120 million domestically in only two weeks.
That wasn’t the only film to break $100 million domestically this week either. Per Variety, 1917 also broke that barrier, hitting at around $104 million after capturing the second place spot with an estimated $15.8 million for its third week of wide release.

Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen — starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, and Colin Farrell — brought in a decent $11 million while horror flick The Turning (which is actually based on Henry James’ 1898 novel The Turn of the Screw) only conjured up $7.3 million.
The Turning has been bashed by both critics and audiences alike. You can red IGN’s review of The Turning here, which calls out the film’s “cheap scares, poorly edited set-pieces, and bad twist.”
