The basketball film brought in $13.1 million from 3,965 locations on Friday, making it Warner Bros.’ largest pandemic debut and the largest pandemic opening for a family film. The film takes the top spot on this weekend’s domestic box office charts, taking the lead from Disney/Marvel’s Black Widow, which made $8 million on Friday and is projected to make $24.6 million. The superhero film stars Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and stars LeBron James, Don Cheadle, and Zendaya. The film follows a fictionalized version of James who teams up with Looney Tunes characters in a basketball game to save his son from an evil AI.

Rounding out the Top 5 spots at the box office this weekend are Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, F9, and The Boss Baby: Family Business.

For the sequel, LeBron James is replacing Michael Jordan, playing a heightened version of himself, who struggles to connect with his tech-savvy son Dom (Ceyair J. Wright). While trying to steal some of the basketball player’s social media followers, a CGI humanoid named Al G Rhythm (Don Cheadle) sucks the duo into a virtual reality called the “Warner 3000 entertainment Server-verse”. In order for Dom to escape the Server-verse, James must defeat the Goon Squad. To take on the challenge, James reunites the Toon Squad, which includes Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Roadrunner, and the rest of the Looney Tunes.

This film will be the first theatrically released one to feature the Looney Tunes characters since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The cast includes Zendaya, Khris Davis, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Cedric Joe. Many NBA and WNBA players will be making cameo appearances, including Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, Diana Taurasi, and Nneka Ogwumike.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is set to be released on HBO Max and in theatres on July 16. Check out the trailer below.

It’s time to slam now because Space Jam 2 is officially Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The official title was revealed by NBA superstar LeBron James on Thursday. 

The Lakers player posted a video of himself Thursday wearing a hat with the logo of Space Jam: A New Legacy, the title of the Looney Tunes sequel. The film’s official Twitter page reposted the vid later that day, so we’ll take that as a confirmation. 

The sequel to the 1996 animated film is directed by Night School helmer Malcolm D. Lee.

The original film starred Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley, and Muggsy Bogues. It’s safe to assume that the sequel will also star current NBA players, but now official castings have been announced.
