Variety further reports that Sony revealed that a fourth ‘Bad Boys’ movie was in the works soon after the third sequel was out in the theatres.
The third part of the film ‘Bad Boys for Life’ became one of the blockbusters of the pre-pandemic era, grossing USD 426.5 million globally.
The 2003 sequel ‘Bad Boys II’ grossed USD 273 million worldwide, while the first ‘Bad Boys’ made USD 141 million. However, ‘Bad Boys for Life’ managed to outperform the first and second instalments combined.
Directed by Michael Bay, the original Bad Boys introduced viewers to Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) and Mike Lowrey (Smith), two hip detectives who look to protect a witness to a murder, while investigating a case of stolen heroin from the evidence storage room of their police precinct. (ANI)
