Sony’s R-rated action movie starring Will Smith, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, is having a spectacular hold on the box office domestically and internationally. The movie is Will Smith’s first theatrical release since his altercation with comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards 2022, which had him banned from the Oscars for a decade.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die passed important milestones, grossing around $33 million domestically this weekend. This makes the film’s running domestic total $112 million and its international haul now stands at $102 million.
Overall, the movie has a cumulative global tally of $214 million, which is a record in itself. Last week, the movie took the long-running action-comedy franchise's combined revenue at the box office past the $1 billion mark, setting a fantastic milestone.

The latest installation of the Bad Boys franchise has propelled the beloved action-comedy series past the $1 billion global box office milestone, making history for itself.
The movie brought the first week's total to $79.24 million across 3,885 theaters, proving that Will Smith is still a powerhouse despite his career-ending scandal at the Academy Awards two years ago. Here is the box-office record for the Bad Boys franchise:
The third film of the franchise, Bad Boys for Life, remains the series’ top-grossing installment with a record of $425 million. The movie played a crucial role in successfully re-introducing the franchise to a new generation of audiences.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die entered a different era of movie-watching where streaming and digital releases quickly follow theatrical debuts and audiences are way more selective about watching movies in theaters. This makes scoring a box-office blockbuster a more difficult feat, but Ride or Die showed up to the game and proved that the Bad Boys still got it.
Directed by the dynamic duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, Ride or Die managed to make $56 million domestically and another $48 million internationally during its first three days, which amounted to a whopping $104 million global debut. This impressive opening was a much-needed boost to a struggling summer box office that suffered flops like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
