(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 19 - Sony took 17 years, the last sequel to "Bad Boys" seems to be paying off, grossing about $ 59.2 million for the start of a holiday weekend in the States United, as reported by the France Press. "Bad Boys for Life" sees WillSmith and Martin Lawrence as wise investigators who reunite after years away ("Bad Boys II" dates back to 2003, eight years after the original "Bad Boys") to face a drug murder homicide in Miami . Its ticket sales to North America - estimated at $ 68.1 million when Martin Luther King's holidays on Monday are included - are almost twice the original forecast, according to Variety.com.
