At Box Office, Two Old Fogies Beat Out Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman were just too much for Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan. The two aging actors, who play dying men who go on a global adventure before they head to their graves in The Bucket List, squeaked out a victory over First Sunday, which took in $19 million to The Bucket List’s $19.5 million.

Still, those are hefty numbers for O’Shea Jackson. Entertainment Weekly says, “The heist comedy further solidified Ice Cube’s position as one of the most dependably bankable stars around, earning the third-best opening gross of his career (it fell just short of the bows of the two Barbershop movies, which brought in $20.6 mil and then $24.2 mil on their respective initial weekends).”

Not bad for the rapper turnt actor. I guess he just couldn’t hang with Uncle Jack, whose legendary career’s been on the upswing since playing Frank Costello in The Departed.
