The Big Picture Having played in theaters worldwide for over a month and a half now, Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die dropped out of the top five domestically for the first time this weekend. But that didn’t stop it from registering yet another strong hold, even at the global box office.
With $185 million domestically and $193 million from overseas markets, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has now grossed $378 million globally, against a reported budget of $100 million. By comparison, the long-running series’ third film — Bad Boys for Life — generated over $200 million domestically and nearly $425 million worldwide upon its release in 2020, against a reported $90 million budget.
The 'Bad Boys' Franchise Has Grossed Over $1.2 Billion Worldwide Close Both Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die have been directed by the dynamic Belgian duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who, in addition to delivering at the box office, have also earned the franchise positive reviews. While Bad Boys for Life has a 75% approval rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Bad Boys: Ride or Die appears to have settled at a 65% score.
What this also proves is that the casual moviegoer doesn’t care about the incident between Smith and comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars a couple of years ago, minutes before winning his Best Actor Academy Award. Smith was subsequently issued a decade-long ban by the Academy, but only a few months later, he starred in the would-be awards contender film Emancipation, which debuted on Apple TV+.
The franchise began in 1995 with Michael Bay’s blockbuster first movie, which grossed $141 million globally. Also directed by Bay, Bad Boys II followed in 2003, and grossed over $270 million worldwide. The Bad Boys franchise has generated a combined total of over $1.2 billion worldwide. You can watch Bad Boys: Ride or Die in theaters — Sony has cleverly held off on releasing it at home — and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
