That’s some big bucks!

Including James Earl Jones, who will be reprising his role as Akeem’s father, King Jaffe Joffer.
A whole host of movies have been pushed back, falling victim to cancelations and delays.
But there’s been a change of plan.
The streaming giant reportedly coughed up an eye-watering $125 million for the deal
But, when the news surfaced, fans had a lot to say on the decision to skip theaters altogether…
Coming 2 America is expected to premiere on the streaming service on December 18.
