Bad Boys: Ride or Die‘s $100 million production budget (a reasonable one in today’s Hollywood climate) might make it yet another easy win for everyone involved, as it’s earned over $120 million worldwide in just six days and shows no signs of significantly slowing down before the end of the month. That could soon be turned into enough interest for a fifth movie to be made.
According to legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who recently talked to Deadline following the movie’s strong first weekend, conversations regarding another sequel could be happening sooner rather than later.
No longer attached to Michael Bay and after being left dormant for around 17 years, 2020’s Bad Boys for Life grossed over $420 million worldwide on a $90 million budget right before the Covid pandemic, so Sony and the creatives jumped on a sequel as soon as they could. Now, more than four years later, history is repeating itself, as audiences are still very much interested in Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett’s low-stakes and highly comedic adventures as they fight crime and corruption.
