WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Bad Boys For Life tops the chart with 59.2MM, which is just fine against a 90MM production budget.  Dolittle places with 22.5MM, which is definitely not fine against a 175MM budget.  1917 shows with 22.1MM on an Oscars nominations-buoyed 40 percent drop.  Jumanji: The Next Level takes the fourth slot with another 9.6MM on a leggy 32 percent drop; Sony would love to see this reach 30MM domestic, but they'll still be happy when it falls a bit short of that.  The Rise of Skywalker rounds outh the Top Five with 8.4MM on a 45 percent drop as it creeps up on 500MM domestic and 520MM looks like the limit here.
