The Big Picture Following a July 7 taking of $1,840,833 at the domestic Box Office, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has officially entered the top 100 action movies of all time at the US Box Office. Joining some of the biggest franchises of all time, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jurassic Park, and Mission Impossible, the recent fourth installment in the Bad Boys saga has proved to be a tour-de-force at this year's Box Office, showcasing the very best that can be done with franchise revivals.
Next to beat at number 98 is another Will Smith movie, Men in Black 3, showcasing the veteran actor's long-serving appeal. Less than $2 million currently separates the two and, if Bad Boys: Ride or Die's recent form is anything to go by, Smith should be overtaking his previous work in the next few days. As a singular outing, Ride or Die has defied expectations, with the entire franchise, thanks to its fourth installment's success, now pushed beyond the $1 billion mark.
'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' Was a Return to Form for the Action Franchise Close With a franchise with as fair a pedigree as Bad Boys has, it could have been easy for producers to simply grab a quick buck at the Box Office without a thought for quality. However, that is simply not the case with Ride or Die, with both the public and critics alike praising much of the movie's magic.
"Bad Boys: Ride or Die might explore too many plotlines or bolt between too many characters, but brains-free enjoyment reigns supreme . Adil & Bilall hardly lose tempo, speeding through storytelling filler toward the next bulletstorm. Smith and Lawrence never stop cracking zingers, keeping us rooting for their eventual victory dance. What works reminds us why we love going to the movies, and what doesn’t shuffles out of frame before too much damage is done.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die has officially entered the top 100 action movies of all time at the US Box Office. Currently, you can still catch the movie in theaters.
