Will Smith’s star power reinvigorated the summer box office because his newest ‘Bad Boys flick cleaned up in its opening weekend and made him a box office darling once again.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” is projected to make $56 million domestically when all’s said and done higher than the previous estimate of $53 million.
However, international box office totals have eclipsed $48.6 million and cracked the $100 million total globally.
Box office numbers have been paltry in recent weeks with films like “Mad Max: Furiosa” and “The Fall Guy” underperforming in May and early June.
Perhaps more importantly, the numbers suggest people have moved on from the viral 2022 Oscars slap making Will number one at the box office for the first time since the slap.
The box office figures reinforce the love … showing people haven’t cancelled Will for his huge bad choice.
Will’s deflecting the attention for the film on his team thanking his company for making a great film, and specifically mentioning tough times they weathered.
“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” captured the top spot at the box office and, Will’s spot on the A-List seems secure too.
