Opened up at #1 anyone actually see this in a theater? [box office opening information included]


And then discuss...

The opening was amazing. I would have sworn the first follow-up to the second film would have been serious.

But it was a comedy?

Yes I saw this in the theatre when it was first released. I was an undiscriminating kid so I enjoyed it at the time, but I could tell it was a big step down from I and II. I didn't know who Richard Pryor was and didn't care much for his scenes, but the rest was okay.
