Quickly after breaking box office records earlier this year, there were already reports that Ice Cube and Kevin Hart would go on to do a sequel to their highly successful blockbuster film, Ride Along. Seeing as how this one dropped on MLK weekend, it's only fitting that the sequel is scheduled to drop around the same time. Allhiphop.com reports:

Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are looking to make Black history again during Martin Luther King Jr weekend. Today (March 14th), Universal Pictures announced that the sequel to their hit movie Ride Along will be released during Martin Luther King Jr weekend in 2016.
