Bad Boys 5 Is Already Being Discussed, Jerry Bruckheimer Reveals

Summary

  • Jerry Bruckheimer confirms discussions for fifth
    Bad Boys
    movie pending box office success of latest installment.
  • Box office success of
    Bad Boys: Ride or Die
    makes fifth adventure for Will Smith and Martin Lawrence likely.
  • Bruckheimer attributes success of film to making what audience wants to see, keeping it simple and enjoyable.



Legendary producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, the man behind such major franchises as Top Gun, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and the National Treasure movies, has confirmed that discussions regarding a fifth Bad Boys movie are already happening. Speaking recently with Deadline, Bruckheimer, who was the producer on the previous four outings, revealed that they are waiting to see what happens with Bad Boys: Ride or Die at the box office.

“We’ve had discussions but we want to see how this one did at the box office, and I’m sure we’ll have conversations this week.”

Considering that the action movie has already garnered $113 million worldwide against a production budget of $100 million, a fifth adventure for Will Smith’s Mike Lowrey and Martin Lawrence’s Marcus Burnett is looking highly likely.


Reflecting on the swift box office success of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Bruckheimer preferred to keep any speculation and philosophizing regarding the reasons why to a minimum, instead offering something wonderfully simple, saying…

“If you make something the audience wants to see, they’re going to go see it. It’s that simple. If it works for them, they’ll line up. I wish we all knew what that was. We all have hits every time — [and then] we don’t.”

While Bad Boys: Ride or Die has exploded at the box office, it has been met with somewhat mixed reviews from critics. However, MovieWeb’s own Julian Roman found much to enjoy, declaring that the fifth outing finds Will Smith and Martin Lawrence on “Top Form.”

“Will Smith and Martin Lawrence continue to reign as kings of the buddy cop genre in another action-packed, laugh-out-loud installment of the Bad Boys franchise. Their fourth film together feels like seeing cherished friends who haven’t lost a step after nearly three decades. Bad Boys: Ride or Die slickly incorporates old and new characters into a reversal of fortune for our badass heroes.”
