Gladiator II moves up the ladder in the worldwide box office chart of 2024. The film by Ridley Scott featuring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and Denzel Washington in key roles has now surpassed Will Smith and Martin Lawrence starrer Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die boosted the business when films were failing at the box office, including biggies like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and The Fall Guy. However, the makers were also skeptical about the reception of Bad Boys 4 because of the Chris Rock slap at the Oscars fiasco. It not only crushed the industry’s projections but became one of the top ten highest-grossing films of the year for quite some time. Although it has been pushed out of the top 10 by new releases, Will Smith’s film is still a box office success.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is now the 12th highest-grossing film of the year with its $404.54 million worldwide haul. It was at #11 on the global list but has been beaten by Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II. The film collected $1.4 million on Friday, scoring the second biggest 6th Friday of 2024 for R-rated movies. Not only that, but the sequel also experienced a jump of 8.5% from last Friday despite losing 537 theatres on Thursday.
