The original "Rush Hour," which follows two police officers who are forced to work together to rescue a Chinese diplomat's abducted daughter, was a huge hit with $244 million globally. The two follow-up films, "Rush Hour 2" and "Rush Hour 3," were even bigger commercial successes with $347 million and $258 million, respectively, despite mixed reviews. In the time since those films dominated in theaters, comedies have mostly fallen out of favor at the box office.
