Box Office: ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ Makes $5.9 Million in Previews

It might take some “Bad Boys” to save this summer’s bad box office start.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence‘s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” has made $5.875 million in Thursday previews at the box office so far.

Sony and Columbia’s fourth “Bad Boys” movie, and the follow-up to 2020’s surprise hit “Bad Boys for Life,” is expected to open between $45 million and $50 million this weekend. However, Sony has a smaller estimate at $30 million. The more conservative projection could be overly cautious due to the growing number of summer films, such as “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” “IF” and “The Fall Guy,” that have failed to connect with theatergoers.
