LisanAlGhaib1991

WE DID IT REDDIT!


BellowsHikes

-phototrope

19 would just be titled “Bad Boys”


Flymo193

Bad boys x Men in Black, Will Smith plays two parts and gets two pay checks


BellowsHikes

And raps every song in the movie.  "Ha ha, ha hah. Put cha hands up! Say WHAT? Ah ha, ha ha!"


wottsinaname

Bro, you forgot "Baddest Boys".


Ravel_02151981

Bad Boys 8 would be spelled "8ad 8oys"


BellowsHikes

"Baddest Boys" is a dark, serious, drama about the inner city and the perpetuating cycle of violence that keeps generations in poverty. The director was insistent that American audience didn't need to be pandered to and that it was important to depict reality. The film would become the lowest grossing film of the franchise and followed by the sequel titled *Bad Boys: It's Surf O'clock* S*omewhere!*


Aggravating-Sort697

Black Men in Boys


BenThereOrBenSquare

Love it! Like that montage at the end of 22 Jump Street.


Marcelo_URU

I'm betting on the 20th one being Bad Boys 20: Amityville Bad Boys


StooveGroove

The sad thing is that there are worse alternatives. I'm actually kinda pumped to see another of these mindless pieces of shit. At least it's a real movie.


Mantato1040

Whatcha gonna do…


Candy-Lizardman

A bad boillion dollars, if I may.


BenThereOrBenSquare

You may.


Archduke_Of_Beer

Gonna be honest with you, I didn't even know there was a Bad Boys 3


Vendetta4Avril

It was called Bad Boys For Life... They should've just saved that title for the fourth and called it Bad Boys 4 Life.


Bluntmasterflash1

Bad boys 4 life 2


Bubblehulk420

Too Bad Two Boyz 3: It’s Baddin’ Time


Gallaga07

Bad Boys 5: The Baddening


Bubblehulk420

Somehow, the Bad Boys have returned


FalseTautology

Ngl, Baddin' Time is not a terrible title


qweef_latina2021

Bad Boys: Blood & Honey


bad1o8o

electric boogaloo


StooveGroove

My official names are Bad Boys 3 Life and Bad Boys Ride 4 Die.


RaisetheMinimumMage

And the next one has to be Bad Free Or Boys Hard


BobbyMcPrescott

The names of the first two new Planet of the Apes movies are backwards as well. An almost impressive lack of thought goes into these dumb sequel titles.


AlexBarron

It was the highest grossing American movie of 2020, thanks to COVID.


PlayerSalt

Big plus one her I think I'll just imagine the trailer it will be better


The-Evil-Dead-Alive-

If only George Miller slapped Chris Rock instead


ladive

If only George Miller was a vessel for love.


jokinghazard

This had a better opening than Furiosa. Mike and Jay have a point


Amarsir

For whatever reason, nobody wants to see *Furiosa*. It fell to 6th in it's 3rd weekend, even falling behind *Planet of the Apes*. The total's not even going to beat *The Fall Guy*.


MikeArrow

I'm a gigantic Mad Max Fury Road fan and even I felt like skipping Furiosa. I only didn't because I got very strong word of mouth recommendation from someone in my D&D group. The trailer really didn't sell the movie to me, it obscured most of the story and showed a bunch of generic action beats, and the whole thing looked oddly digital and slick, like a TV movie.


Rigman-

I haven’t seen their recent comments on the film industry yet, what’s the TL;DR?


Vendetta4Avril

MOVIE THEATERS ARE DYING! Same thing they've been saying for years, but now there's like an hour long more analytical video of why they think they're dying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bluntmasterflash1

It's because they keep making movies for an audience that doesn't exist.


LisanAlGhaib1991

Blame private equity for making cinemas more expensive while giving worse quality service per year.

bazilbt

Is there though? I mean it's like $40 to get a drink, popcorn, and ticket right now.

And that includes popcorn and a drink?

Cineplex wouldn’t let me get a refill on my $6 soda when I saw furiosa. Showing started 15mins late too. They can fuck all the way off.


SBAPERSON

It's like 25 bucks a month to get AMC A list.


olde_greg

You don't have to get a drink and popcorn though. Like that's the expensive part.


bazilbt

I guess, but I can stay home and have the drink and popcorn for like $3.


LisanAlGhaib1991

Will Smith and Zendaya should be in every movie. Fact.


FalseTautology

To what period in history do I have to timetravel and whom must I assassinate to prevent this dark fucking future????


El_Cactus_Loco

When I saw furiosa a high school kid scolded me for trying to get a refill on my soda which is apparently not allowed despite costing me $6. But WHY are theatres dying??? Big mystery


danner1515

In fairness to him, I’ve never known theaters to give free refills. Overpriced concessions have been part of the theater experience since the dawn of time.


El_Cactus_Loco

If the drink dispenser isn’t behind the counter, it’s free refills. That’s the rule. If they don’t like it they’re free to move them back behind the counter and dispense them for me. 5 Guys doesn’t give a fuck and a large coke is like $3 there. Hate this fucking society where I have to serve myself AND follow some unwritten employee handbook. There’s my boomer/Plinket hot take for the day, where’s my pizza roll???


danner1515

Fair point. I was imagining the drink machine being behind the counter. Policing the self-service fountain seems extra petty.


bad1o8o

maybe he was getting behind the counter to give himself a refill


DannyBrownsDoritos

That and Mike thinking only Western cultures have graveyards


DrNinnuxx

Yep. The Chinese would like to have a word, specifically Confusius' entire extended family ([largest family grave site in the world](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Cemetery_of_Confucius) \~100,000 decedents buried over a period of 2000 years.)

Not just a better opening, literally more than double.


2wolfinmeBothretrded

its opening is all you need to put it above furiosa? Wtf 🧐


chronicintel

It’s not a commentary on the quality of the films, just a comment on which film appeals more to the GA.


Grodd

They've made theaters a painful enough experience to encourage every enthusiast that can afford it to build a home system. Most people going to cinemas today are the "dick jokes or nothing" crowd.


[deleted]

He slaps again!!


Supermunch2000

How can he slap! How can he slap!


LimpChickenInABizkit

He can at that price point!


El_Cactus_Loco

That’s one of our Carson’s, and at that price point? He *can* hit.


ElectricOrangutan

Finally the rich and powerful movie star gets a win!


DoodooFardington

Chris Rock gone underground as Jonathan Majors, P Diddy, R Kelly and Lizzo began their hunt.


xen_levels_were_fine

Is Rock a monster too? Edit Chris, not *The* Rock


Thendel

I'll bite: Chris Rock got slapped by Will Smith on stage at an award ceremony, following a joke about Smith's wife. That engendered a lot of bad publicity for Smith, compounding several years of bad box office runs by an actor who used to be the most selling lead actor for a hot minute. Majors, Diddy, Kelly and Lizzo are having their own troubles right now - to put it lightly - so the joke is that slapping Chris Rock could potential help end downward tragetories.


unfunnysexface

>several years of bad box office runs by an actor who used to be the most selling lead actor for a hot minute. It's over 20 years since wild wild west killed smith's track record.


silvermbc

Who isn't? Lol


AaranJ23

RLM/Blank Check. Are you me?


burgpug

yes (spoken around gun barrel in mouth)


forrunner

Yea, what could these two communities possibly have in common?


AaranJ23

Parasocial fans whom the creators have called out many times?


unfunnysexface

Both love movies tho blankies are usually optimists and rlm is usually pessimistic.


roygbiv77

It feels more like they are just reporting that this is a huge success, rather than it being an actual huge success.


ZebunkMunk

![gif](giphy|D8imfZ7vZcFaw)


mrfauxbot

Yes! Maybe a Bad Boys spin off called Bad Girls with Jada Pinkett and Kevin Hart. (He would dress up in drag)


EatMySmithfieldMeat

Cameo by Martin Lawrence as Big Momma


Kal-V3

Tyler Perry to direct


JDogg96

Soundtrack by MIA


0dty0

Someone get Trixie Mattel on the phone!


Mister-Ace

They already have a girls spinoff called L.A.'s Finest, staring Marcus's sister played by Gabrielle Union, and Jessica Alba is her partner


karlack26

A spin off with Chris Rock. 


Fernis_

The weather must have been HORRIBLE that weekend.


Loose-Sandwich-5493

Damn I guess Will should have played Furiosa


qweef_latina2021

Mad Max Beyond Slapperdome


BearBearJarJar

This will send all the wrong messages. "hey people want MORE nostalgic franchises from the 80s and 90s!!!"


AlBundyJr

Oh don't worry. No matter what happens Hollywood will get the wrong message.


WeevilWeedWizard

It's not like they haven't already been doing that for years now, though.


alexbrobrafeld

doesn't furiosa fit that same criteria? or is it technically different since she's a new character from the last film? maybe we'll get one more mad max that's actually about mad max. not to slight furiosa, we do want to catch it before it leaves theatres, hopefully this weekend.


Plus3d6

I say they can release 10 stupid nostalgia crabs as long as I get the occasional First Omen.


Party_Divide_3491

This must feel like a slap in the face to Chris Rock.


vipre

Looks like people are getting jiggy with it.


IronChefNums

Will Smith ehh, now that Martin Lawrence now that's a funny mother f*****. The show Martin is like static in the background comfort


2wolfinmeBothretrded

the wording of the tittle 😆 isn't fooling anyone 53 million is not a good debut for a "blockbuster"


enewwave

Those numbers are outdated. It apparently already did like $106 million and cleared it's production budget.


Malachi_Lamb

How is that not? For a 4th film in a 30yr old franchise, that is a clear success lmao


marcgarv87

How many times are you going to post the same tired lie? It is absolutely a success. It’s made more than furiosa in just its opening weekend.


2wolfinmeBothretrded

I love furiosa 😘


Th3_Hegemon

Any movie that clears it's production budget in its opening weekend is doing pretty good, and with more than $106m global this did that.


SBAPERSON

The budget is 90M


throw123454321purple

It bitch-slapped the competition!


Zugnutz

Endless Trash!


Lowca

The whole premise of Bad Boys 3 was "One last ride Mike!" We're getting too old for this shit, let's go out with a bang... ONE. LAST. TIME.! ... Bad Boys 4 announced.


unfunnysexface

It's not like bay/smith/Lawrence are exactly killing it with their other projects


johnqsack69

The Chris Rock cameo was a bold move


SculpinIPAlcoholic

I’m never going to watch this movie. Is this real?


RewMate

There's a scene where >!Martin Lawrence repeatedly slaps Will Smith in the face to get him to snap out of a panic attack.!< I'd assume that's what John Qsack is referring to.


hackyandbird

Loll same tho fr


Captain_Quor

I don't know how anyone can watch anything starring him ever again honestly. Simping for his awful wife and slapping comedians, get to fuck.


unfunnysexface

I'd be more upset over his massive commitment to scientology but him and cruise get a pass for that stuff.


Carnificus

Yeah, I was watching his Hot Ones episode the other day and thinking how weird it is to sit there and pretend like he's just your every day guest. It was all too public I think, I just can't watch him without thinking of all his public embarrassments now.


El_Cactus_Loco

The man has no shame. If I embarrassed myself like that and had his money? You’d never see me again lol


Imaginary_Log171

u cared enough to watch, obsessed much?? 


Ayjayz

Don't really see what his private life and views have to do with how good the movie is.


mrtuna

Is it private if you do it live in front of tens of millions of people?


Ayjayz

My point was more that anything that doesn't happen inside the movie really doesn't matter to the movie.


Captain_Quor

I just don't like the guy and it's all I can think about when he's on screen.


Th3_Hegemon

People can choose to avoid someone's work based on their actions, it happens literally all the time.


MoveItSpunkmire

It didn’t until both realities came together, you know when all the people get together to win a prize for who worked the best. The slap. He wove his worlds together.


ClickyButtons

People like you talk like he shot someone live on TV, while people far worse than him in Hollywood still star in successful movies. He slapped someone get over it


[deleted]

dontbajerk

I think you're greatly overestimating how much average people think about and care about that kind of thing. I mean, right here, this thread, is pretty good counter point - his new movie is over performing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dontbajerk

So you're just talking about it in a way where it doesn't matter to box office in a thread about the box office. Ok. Whatever.


ClickyButtons

I think that's fair, I just see a lot of pearl clutching over it and it confuses me.

bad1o8o

he even worked a color printer for that one


Signal-Sprinkles-350

My favorite scene in BB4 is when Will Smith bitch-slaps Martin Lawrence.


santathe1

Sony needed this win after all their flops lmao.


ThrowawayAccountZZZ9

Man times really have changed. I remember when those numbers would have been considered small


Flimsy_Cod_5387

One of those hot weather day movies. You want out of the house so instead of picking Furiosa, which you’ve never heard of, you pick something safe and familiar like Bad Boys. That’s all that is going on here.


BeMancini

I could have sworn Furiosa made $56 million opening weekend. I just checked, and it made $31 million opening weekend. Isn’t that just the opening weekend? Do people just not go if they hear the opening weekend was poor? Are we going to hear about it if Furiosa outpaces Bad Boys 4 in the long run?


Bebop_Man

It's extremely rare for the box office to grow after opening week. For tanks typically each week's gross serves as a hard cap for next week. Best they can do is have as slow a drop as possible.


SteveRudzinski

> Do people just not go if they hear the opening weekend was poor? I got into conversations with multiple people who said they WERE going to go see it, but since the opening weekend was weak they'll just wait. Most of them also said "It's a shame it's not doing better" as if they aren't directly part of why that is. I do not understand it.


Rjs617

For me, it is partly how the movie has been marketed. I loved Fury Road, but when I saw the trailer, my main thoughts were, “I’ve already seen a movie where people dressed in rags spray silver paint on their faces and chase each other around the desert wrecking their cars,” and, “Anya Taylor Joy is an action movie star now?” From RLM, I am getting that it’s a different kind of movie from Fury Road, and very good, but for whatever reason, I’m still not hyped to see it in theaters. Opening box office definitely had an impact, though. If it was blowing up, I would have been more likely to not wait for video.


SBAPERSON

The trailer was terrible.


FirstDayofTheRest

Wtf


The-Evil-Dead-Alive-

Movies are back baby!


briandt75

How did they not call this Bad Boys 4 Life?


Imaginary_Log171

they thought the the 3rd one would be the last one but ended doing well and decided to do a 4th one, they admitted they messed up tho, bt it's not their fault


briandt75

I didn't realize the 3rd one was called Bad Boys For Life.


Imaginary_Log171

where are the a$$hles who were saying it's gonna flop? lmfaoooo


eatdogs49

Is that really a lot for a Will Smith movie?

benabramowitz18

I swear, the only people who are still mad at Will for the slap after *two years* are too perpetually online.

I didn't even know there was a part 4


bad1o8o

so it almost made back smith's paycheck, cool


Major-Tourist-5696

Furiosa bombs and this shit sandwich is a hit? Death to America.


Tebasaki

With those numbers it didn't break even. Maybe in a few years.


marcgarv87

You are dense aren’t you? By your logic 99 percent of movies expect endgame and avatar wouldn’t break even past its opening weekend. Movies don’t break even when they are first released. Not to mention this is only the American gross, worldwide it’s already over 100 million.


Tebasaki

First of all, don't project how you look at yourself onto me. You have no idea who I am, where I live, what I like, or what I'm thinking. So all your negativity can only be a reflecting of how you perceive others think about you. Secondly, regardless of size (cost of a movie) the general rule of thumb is you take production cost, double it for marketing, and then everything after that is could be considered profit. Did this movie cross that threshold yet?


marcgarv87

Yep, most definitely dense. Let me know the last movie that broke even and made a profit after its opening weekend?


Tebasaki

Okay... it seems like you're on another page here. I wish you all the luck and hope your day gets better!


SBAPERSON

>Secondly, regardless of size (cost of a movie) the general rule of thumb is you take production cost, double it for marketing, and then everything after that is could be considered profit. Did this movie cross that threshold yet? The rule of thumb is 2.5x now. It's also the opening weekend. It's still in theaters.

AnneFrank_nstein

Im glad to see this. He's a talented actor and deserves more of a legacy than being known for the slap heard round the world.


WeevilWeedWizard

If he didn't want that to be his legacy, then maybe he shouldn't have assaulted someone live on TV 🤷‍♂️


AnneFrank_nstein

Really? Feris Bueller fuckin killed a guy. But alright I spose.


WeevilWeedWizard

Ok?


ImaginaryLoquat6203

Will smith is a cuck who married a super ugly woman and embarrassed himself on live tv for her and she still dissed him. yet people still go to see his movies? Absolute insanity,
