Night School topped the domestic box office with $28 million from 3,010 locations. Warner Bros.’ Smallfoot, came in not far behind with $23 million when it launched in 4,100 locations. The two motion pictures both propelled keeping pace with introductory projections from industry examiners, helping drive the second-best September ever in North America, as per comScore. The greatest September still has a place with 2017, reinforced by the enormous release of Warner Bros.’, It.

Night School, which cost $29 million to produce, marks the biggest debut of the year for a comedy flick. The PG-13 movie reunites Haddish with Girls Trip director, Malcolm D. Lee and producer, Will Packer. Night School, however, wasn’t a smash like Girls Trip. It got a low 31% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while Girls Trip got a 90% crisp rating.

With Night School, Universal currently holds the three greatest unique comedic openings of the previous two years, alongside Blockers and Girls Trip. The studio’s head of residential circulation, Jim Orr, ascribes the accomplishment to the group both before and behind the camera.

“We’re in business with the right people,” Orr said. “I couldn’t begin to give enough love to Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Malcolm Lee, and Will Packer.”
