Part 3/7:
To put this into perspective, Bad Boys: Ride or Die opened at roughly twice the amount that Furiosa managed during its debut, which was around $26-28 million. Considering its modest budget (estimated at around $100 million), Bad Boys 4 is on track to be profitable once its worldwide and subsequent box office earnings are considered.
This performance is especially impressive given that the franchise's previous biggest opening was just shy of $62 million before the pandemic—making this year's tally nearly match the high point of the franchise's box office success. If Bad Boys can maintain this trajectory and bring in around $400 million globally, it could potentially turn a profit and reinvigorate interest in the series.
