This weekend at the box office, old things were made new again as Sony released its long-delayed “Bad Boys” sequel and Universal sought to introduce a younger audience to the classic Dr. Dolittle character. A follow-up to 1995’s “Bad Boys” and 2003’s “Bad Boys II,” the film reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as seasoned Miami cops forced to reckon with the violence they’ve wreaked as retirement looms on the horizon. Comparatively, “Bad Boys II” opened to $46 million 17 years ago and wrapped its entire theatrical run with $65.8 million. “Weathering” also earned $1.7 million Friday through Sunday in a traditional release for $4.7 million cumulative. This weekend, Universal opens the horror movie “The Turning” and STX Entertainment premieres the action adventure “The Gentlemen.”
