Box Office

(CNN)In the end, it was a couple of buddies who knocked The Force out.

"Ride Along 2," the Universal sequel starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, opened at No. 1 for the weekend with an estimated $34 million box office.

After four weekends of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at No. 1, the Disney film dropped to No. 3 in its fifth week of release, earning $25 million, according to RenTrak's three-day box office estimates.

"Star Wars" fans may mourn the day the Force bowed to mere mortals.

But there's no need to feel sorry for Disney.
