Despite the drop at the box office, Bad Boys: Ride or Die surpassed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office, earning $112 million in the U.S. The film’s international haul amounted to $102 million, enabling Bad Boys: Ride Or Die to cross a major Global milestone by raking in $214 million in worldwide collections.
The long-running action comedy franchise also managed to recoup its production budget of $100 Million. It remains to be seen if the fourth installment will surpass its predecessor, Bad Boys For Life’s $426 million as the highest-grossing film in the franchise.
However, it should be noted that Bad Boys For Life smashed records before the COVID era. In a post-pandemic world where audiences are reticent about theater outings since the films will soon land on streaming and digital services, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die has performed well at the Box office.
