The merrily sadistic stunt performers led by Johnny Knoxville return to multiplexes for the final time via Jackass: Best and Last on June 26th. Spawned from the MTV smash show that premiered in 2000, series co-creator Jeff Tremaine directs. In addition to Knoxville, original Jackassers Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Danger Ehren are back putting their bodies in harm’s way. Newer cast members Poopies (marking the first time I’ve uttered that word on the blog), Zach Holmes, Rachel Wolfson, and Jasper Dolphin round out the cast.

This is the fifth official entry (excluding successful 2013 spin-off Bad Grandpa) in the cinematic franchise and each has taken in $20M+ out of the gate. 2002’s Jackass: The Movie debuted to $22 million with 2006 follow-up Jackass: Number Two starting at $29 million. In 2010, Jackass 3D set high marks for its premiere ($50 million) and overall domestic haul ($117 million). 2022’s Jackass Forever kicked off in line with the first two ($23 million). However, its $57 million stateside gross is the lowest of the quartet.

Unless interest is higher due to the finale status, Best and Last should continue the downward trend. The older this franchise gets, the less younger viewers there are with a nostalgic fondness for it. This could be the first Jackass flick to fall under that $20 million figure.

Jackass: Best and Last opening weekend prediction: $16.3 million
