Will Smith established his star power by proving the exhibitors wrong, as his 2024 film Bad Boys: Ride or Die exceeded their expectations on its debut weekend. It brought hope when films were underperforming this summer. Bad Boys 4 recently crossed a significant milestone at the worldwide box office amidst several releases over the past few months.
The film’s synopsis states, “When their late police captain gets linked to drug cartels, wisecracking Miami cops Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett embark on a dangerous mission to clear his name.” Will and Martin Lawrence reunited for the fourth installment and recreated the dynamic chemistry in the buddy cop action comedy. The film is in the ten highest-grossing films of the 2024 list, with a decent yet impressive collection.
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die was released in the theatres in June, and around that time, the films were not doing as well as expected. The exhibitors and people at Sony feared having high expectations for Bad Boys 4, especially because of Smith’s Oscar scandal in 2022, when he slapped Chris Rock. But Will is not new in the business and is one of the highest-paid actors in the industry. He has a celebrated career and an estimated net worth of about $350 million.
