It is the first film of the megastar to be released after his 2022 movie Emancipation. Bad Boys 4 proved the star power of Will, and when the exhibitors were experiencing a depressing summer, it came in and brought much-needed smiles to their faces. Therefore, today, we will discuss the actor’s success ratio for this year. Scroll below for the deets.
Will Smith’s 2024 Movies –
Smith is one of the biggest stars in the film industry, has made some phenomenal movies, and is also a very versatile actor. The Bad Boys star has proved his mettle from drama to comedy and action flicks. His fans anticipated the release of Bad Boys: Ride or Die this year, and they did not disappoint the actor, nor did the actor fail to entertain them.
Will Smith reprised his role as detective Mike Lowrey alongside Martin Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett. It is the fourth film in the franchise, and it was kickstarted by filmmaker Michael Bay in 1995. The third film came out in 2020 and is reportedly the highest-grossing in the franchise. Meanwhile, Bad Boys 4 was directed by Adil & Billal. In 2022, the film’s production was apparently halted due to Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony and the subsequent investigation.
Because of the Oscar slap fiasco, Sony had doubts about the film’s performance and projected a moderate opening. However, Will Smith proved his star power as his film Bad Boys: Ride or Die made a splendid debut, crushing everyone’s projections. At the time, films like The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga were underperforming at the box office.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die opened to $56.52 million at the US box office in its debut weekend and collected another $48.6 million overseas.
