Ice Cube’s $201M Movie & Its $331M Sequel To Stream on Hulu

A hit comedy franchise led by Ice Cube is heading back into the spotlight, as its two successful buddy-cop films starring Channing Tatum prepare to land on Hulu, bringing their mix of action, humor, and nostalgia to a wider audience.

21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street arrive on Hulu in April

Both 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street are set to stream on Hulu starting April 1st, giving viewers a chance to revisit the popular reboot film series. The movies follow undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko, played by Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, respectively, as they pose as students to crack drug cases.

Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, 21 Jump Street poked fun at high school stereotypes. Made on a reported budget of about $42 million, the film earned roughly $201 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo). Critics and audiences responded strongly, with 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.2/10 IMDb rating.

The sequel, released in 2014, leaned into its own formula and joked about sequels. It sent the duo undercover to college, raising both the dangers involved and the laughs. With a reportedly bigger budget of nearly $50 million, it performed even better, collecting around $331 million globally (via Box Office Mojo). Reviews mostly stayed positive, and the film earned a 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 7/10 IMDb rating.

Both films also feature strong supporting performances from Ice Cube as the no-nonsense Captain Dickson, whose explosive reactions and rants became a highlight of the franchise. The films’ cast lineup also includes Dave Franco, Ellie Kemper, Joe Chrest, Peter Stormare, Amber Stevens West, and more.

Their arrival on Hulu gives fans a chance to relive one of the most successful comedy duos of the 2010s. With sharp writing, memorable scenes, and strong chemistry between its leads, the franchise remains one of the most popular comedy movies.
