Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s Bad Boys for Life — opening 17 years after the last installment in their franchise hit the big screen — zoomed to an estimated $68.1 million over the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, including $59.2 million for the three days. The film’s release marks the second-best showing ever for the holiday frame, and Sony’s biggest R-rated bow. The action-comedy also wowed overseas, where it collected $37.3 million from 39 markets for a global debut of $107.3 million.
