Assuming no delays, that puts this movie opening opposite Inside Out 2 from Pixar. That seems like good counterprogramming because they are going to be targeting different demographics. But I wonder who will get the premium screens that weekend.

That's a wrap.

Would like it to be good, but the last one was just so-so.

I may regret saying this, but it looks like it could be better than the 3rd film. Bigger action anyway.

Yup, it looks good, & I’m not seeing anything of Will Smith’s son, who at the end of 3 was in prison & should stay there, despite his father hinting that he’d get out & work with the police, that would never work, especially as he murdered the police chief, I’m hoping they just quietly forgot that plot-line. I’m with others, 3 was okay, I’m not that keen to see it again, I didn’t like 1, but BB2 is one of my go to action films, I just love the over-the-topness of it all.

well, the only thing i can say about BB2 that gains more popularity, is that that's one another Michael Bay's work, this time round more "grander scale" and in "wider scope".
BB3 was an attempt to re-introduce the characters to new wave of audiences who were restricted to be exposed to the main characters in 1&2, but ends up into another "pop corn flick" where audience who had seen BB3 needs not to come again should there's a sequel, although the ending part seems to hint so...

I agree the plot with his son was misguided, and is best forgotten.

My favorite film in the (now) series is the first - a great mix of comedy and action along the lines of the Lethal Weapon films. I like the second film and it has some very impressive action scenes, but I feel it loses focus on the comedy aspect. Which may not be surprising since the first film was written as vehicle for SNL comedians, and the second was clearly Bayformed into an action spectacle.

Is that a Beverly Hills Cop Lions jacket Lawrence has on? Hope they're not drawing inspiration from the third film.
