Despite the shadow cast by Disney’s The Jungle Book in the domestic and international box-office, New Line and MGM managed to score with Barbershop: The Next Cut.
The third film in the “Barbershop” series racked up a sterling $20.2 million from 2,661 locations. Women comprised 54% of ticket buyers, and 66% of consumers were over the age of 25. Ice Cube, Regina Hall, Nicki Minaj and Cedric the Entertainer star in the comedy.
“We are thrilled with it,” said Jeff Goldstein, distribution executive vice president at Warner Bros., New Line’s parent studio. “The cast was tremendous and it just looked like fun.”
