Box Office: ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ Buddies Up to $21.6 Million Opening Day
"Bad Boys: Ride or Die" looks to debut north of $50 million in its opening weekend, breathing some life into a quiet summer box office.
The studio seems to have made a cautious lowball, considering “The Fall Guy” and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” have given the summer box office a run of high-profile titles debuting below expectations. The buddy cop feature also marks Smith’s first wide theatrical release since he slapped Chris Rock onstage at the Academy Awards, shortly before the “King Richard” star won the Oscar for best actor. Smith and Lawrence return as Detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett for “Ride or Die,” this time going rogue in order to exonerate their late captain (Joe Pantoliano).
