Get ready to ride or die with the Bad Boys because they're back and breaking records! Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's latest film, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, has just had the highest-grossing opening week in their career, raking in a whopping $56 million domestically. Move over Pursuit of Happiness, Men In Black, and Independence Day – there's a new sheriff in town!
Let's start with some numbers to put things into perspective. Some of Will Smith's highest-grossing opening week's include the highly acclaimed Pursuit of Happiness, which brought in $27 million. While that's no small feat, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has nearly doubled that number, showing just how much fans were eagerly awaiting the return of the legendary duo – Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett.
It's not just surpassing this previous records; Bad Boys: Ride or Die also outshines the opening weeks of other blockbuster hits in Will Smith's filmography. Remember the slick and suave Men In Black hitting the screens? Well, its opening week brought in $51 million domestically, making it quite the contender. However, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has managed to outgun those extraterrestrial agents and grab the top spot.
And who could forget the epic alien invasion spectacle that was Independence Day? This sci-fi classic had a strong opening week, bringing in $50 million domestically, only to be outdone by the Bad Boys duo. It seems that audiences just can't get enough of the high-octane action and witty banter between Smith and his superstar co-star, Martin Lawrence.
But let's not forget where it all started. The original Bad Boys film, released back in 1995, had a relatively modest opening week of $15.5 million domestically. While it may pale in comparison to the newer entries in the series, it laid the foundation for the beloved franchise that we can't get enough of today.
Of course, it's not all about the money, but these numbers are a testament to the enduring popularity of the Bad Boys franchise and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's magnetic star power. Fans have been eagerly waiting some twenty long years for this film, and it's clear that the wait was worth it. From heart-pounding car chases to hilarious one-liners, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has it all.
Now, let's think back to Martin Lawrence's legendary character, Big Momma, and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to box office success. The first installment of the series, Big Momma's House 1, proved to be a hit, as this sassy and comedic undercover agent brought in an impressive 25 million dollars in its debut week in the United States. But clearly Lawrence was just warming up, because Big Momma was just getting started. The highly anticipated sequel, appropriately titled Big Momma's House 2, surpassed all expectations, raking in an astonishing 27 million dollars during its first week in theaters. Nevertheless, Bad Boys 1 & 2 outperformed Big Momma's opening week, making this an extraordinary accomplishment and a record breaking opening week for Lawrence as well.
So, buckle up, hold on tight, and get ready to join Miami's finest on their latest thrill ride. Bad Boys: Ride or Die has taken the box office by storm, breaking records left and right. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have captured our hearts once again, proving that true friendship and explosive action never go out of style. Ride or die, indeed!
