The Big Picture Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die has catapulted the beloved action-comedy series past the $1 billion global box office milestone, and it's time to celebrate. Its Thursday stateside earnings hit $4.48 million, bringing the first week's total to $79.24 million across 3,885 theaters, which took the franchise over the massive milestone.
Directed by the dynamic duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Bad Boys: Ride or Die raked in $56 million domestically and another $48 million internationally during its first three days, amounting to a staggering $104 million global debut. This impressive opening ranks among the top of the year and provided a much-needed boost to a struggling summer box office that saw flops like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
Also directed by Adil & Bilall, Bad Boys for Life ended up grossing over $425 million globally, wrapping up its run just before the pandemic turned the film industry upside down. Bad Boys: Ride or Die entered a very different playing field, where streaming and digital releases quickly follow theatrical debuts, and audiences are pickier about their theater outings.
Audiences Love 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' Despite these challenges, Bad Boys: Ride or Die opened to a phenomenal audience response, suggesting it would maintain strong performance throughout the summer. The movie achieved a stellar 97% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- CinemaScore from its opening day viewers. Critics were mostly positive, with the film currently holding a “fresh” 64% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
