The box office is finally starting to pick up thanks to Sony/Columbia’s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which faced fears from some exhibition sources that it would succumb to the recent slump in the theatrical market but has instead broken it with a $56 million opening weekend from 3,885 locations in North America with a $104.6 million global start.

While a bit below the $62 million 3-day opening weekend earned by “Bad Boys For Life” in January 2020, it beats pre-release projections, which had topped out at $50 million and had been revised down to the low $40 million range in the leadup to release.
