"Think Like A Man Too" continues Kevin Hart's hot streak at theaters.
Kevin Hart's "Think Like A Man Too" may not have made as big a splash as expected; however, the film still topped the weekend making $30 million.
That's slightly less than the first film. "Think Like A Man" brought in $33.6 million when it debuted in 2012.
Still, the movie helps continue Hart's hot streak at theaters. His previous two releases this year, "About Last Night" and "Ride Along," have both debuted above $25 million.
The studio's other big sequel, "22 Jump Street," had such a strong second weekend with $29 million that it nearly took the top spot away from Hart's film.
The Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill buddy-cop sequel has now made more than $149 million at theaters in two weeks.
It's great news for Sony. Last summer, the studio was hurting after a bunch of its big films, "After Earth," "White House Down," "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones," "The Smurfs 2," and "Elysium," all underperformed.
Those performances led to the studio announcing a reduction in the number of films put out by Sony after the company posted an operating loss of $181 million in its Q2. Sony said moving forward they would put out an estimated 18 movies, down from its typical 23 per year.
