That movie promised that stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum would be heading to college next, and marketing for the latest entry suggested it was going to deliver on that promise.
21 Jump Street came out just over two years ago-the ideal wait time between a movie and its sequel-and had a strong run thanks in part to good word-of-mouth. 22 Jump Street's strong start is likely due to a combination of goodwill from the first movie and a strong marketing campaign this time around. It's also up a whopping 57 percent from 21 Jump Street's $36 million debut in March 2012. That's the second-biggest opening ever for an R-rated comedy behind The Hangover Part II, and ahead of hits like Neighbors and Ted. Playing at 3,306 locations, 22 Jump Street opened to a fantastic $57.1 million this weekend. It came as quite the surprise, though, that the R-rated comedy easily took first place ahead of the DreamWorks Animation movie. As expected, highly-anticipated sequels 22 Jump Street and How to Train Your Dragon 2 took the top two spots at the box office this weekend.
