Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw Loses Box Office Top Spot to Surprising Newcomer

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw was expected to win its a third weekend at the box office easily. Instead, it’s moving to number two after a surprisingly strong start for R-rated comedy Good Boys.

Good Boys was expected to open with around $12-13 million, just behind Hobbs & Shaw. Instead, it earned more than $8 million on Friday and will take in $21 million in its opening weekend, easily outpacing Hobbs & Shaw‘s third-weekend gross. It’s the first R-rated comedy to top the box office since 2016.

Good Boys follows 12-year-old Max as he seeks help from friends Lucas and Thor to prepare for his first “kissing party.” They develop a plan to spy on the girls next door using Max’s father’s drone. When they lose the drone, they have to skip school and embark on a mission to retrieve the device before Max’s father notices.

Hobbs & Shaw earned $3.8 million in its third Friday at the box office, on its way to a $14.14 million weekend. The film’s domestic box office total now stands at $133 million. The film, the first spinoff of the Fast & Furious series, sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprising their roles from the Fast & Furious films. They team up — along with Venessa Kirby as Shaw’s sister, an MI6 agent — to take on Brixton, a cybernetically enhanced terrorist played by Idris Elba.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 will open in fifth place. After opening on Tuesday, the film is expected to gross more than $16 million by Monday. The animated sequel sees the birds and the pigs joining forces to stop and invasion of their island. The film features the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, Peter Dinklage, Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, and Eugenio Derbez.
