ride along

Ride Along was one of the surprise hits of 2014, making a massive pile of cash in the traditionally slow month of January. A sequel was inevitable. Like clockwork, Ride Along 2 is set to arrive almost exactly two years to the day after the first film. Which means the second outing of Ice Cube and Kevin Hart’s mismatched buddy cops was written, shot, edited and will be released in the space of 728 days.

The animated family film "The LEGO Movie", featuring the voices of Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks and Will Ferrell, topped this weekend's box office, taking in $69.1 million in its first week.

The comedy "Ride Along", starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, held on to the top spot in this Super Bowl weekend's box office, taking in an estimated $12.3 million.

Unless you had a personal stake in a film being released this weekend, movies were far from the most important thing happening to you these past couple of days. You can blame the weekend's mostly anemic box office on one thing: the Super Bowl. Everyone spent their money buying snacks and preparing their parties and not going to see 'That Awkward Moment' and 'Labor Day,' both of which opened soft.

The comedy "Ride Along" starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart finished first in this weekend's box office, taking in just over $21 million.

"Ride Along", starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, broke an MLK weekend record by raking in $48 million over a four-day weekend, easily making it this weekend's No. 1 movie.

In the first truly busy weekend for new releases in 2014, Ice Cube and Kevin Hart took the competition, bent them over the knee and gave them a good spanking. Okay, you probably didn't want the image of those two spanking animated squirrels, demonic babies or Chris Pine in your head, but how else are we going to talk about the opening weekend for 'Ride Along'?

Late-night host Conan O'Brien decided to try out the new Lyft app and hit the streets of Los Angeles with "Ride Along" stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. Bet he'll never do that again!
