Bad Boys 5 Teased After Ride or Die Success

Bad Boys: Ride or Die continues the iconic Bad Boys franchise with another smashing success for Sony. With a production budget of $100 million, the film has already grossed over $120 million globally in just six days. This strong performance might pave the way for a fifth installment in the series, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer emphasized that creating content that resonates with audiences is crucial, and if a movie works, people will flock to see it. The success of Ride or Die is reminiscent of 2020's Bad Boys for Life, which earned over $420 million worldwide. Sony is also considering keeping directors Billal Fallah & Adil El Arbi, who directed Ride or Die, for more projects, possibly even the next Spider-Man movie led by Tom Holland.

Given the impressive box office performance of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, discussions for a fifth movie are already taking place. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has hinted that if the current film continues to perform well, we can expect official announcements about Bad Boys 5 soon.

The Bad Boys series has been a staple of action cinema since its debut in 1995, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. The franchise combines high-octane action with comedic elements, appealing to a broad audience. Bad Boys for Life, released in 2020, marked a significant comeback for the series, successfully reviving interest in the franchise despite the long gap since the second film.
