Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reach heights the movies haven't seen since Oppenheimer.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die has notched an important Summer box office achievement that might bode well for the season. In the United States, no R-rated movie has opened with more than $5.9 million on preview night since Oppenheimer . Not a week goes by where there isn't worrying about the state of the theater industry. This summer especially, people are nervous about the first few releases of 2024.
There's a very real possibility that Bad Boys: Ride or Die could end up bringing in $40 million at the box office this weekend. Back in 2020, Bad Boys for Life did about $6.36 million. Considering the two are so close, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah should be celebrated for their efforts here. Social media reactions to Bad Boys: Ride or Die have been very positive as well.
Will Smith & Martin Lawrence Show There's Nothing Wrong With Getting OldThe biggest strength of this film would have to be the camaraderie between Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Seeing the duo play Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett has become a cozy feeling for a lot of theater goers. In a time where it can be a big ask to get a family out to the cinema, Smith still looks like the mega-watt draw he's been for three decades now.
Another underrated facet of this film franchise is that both of these men have allowed themselves to age pretty gracefully. The filmmakers still ask both actors to take on some wicked sequences. But, there are also moments of reflection in Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die that openly ask how long Mike and Marcus can conceivably do this whole buddy cop routine. That's a relatable struggle. The world is changing and sometimes you can't fight to be stuck in amber completely.
