Bad Boys 4 has the chance to break a Will Smith movie record that's stood for 12 years, but it won't be easy. Bad Boys: Ride or Die is set to release just four years after the last installment, marking the shortest gap between films in the franchise, with the first releasing in 1995, the second in 2003, and then a 17-year gap before Bad Boys for Life in 2020. Each installment has been profitable, making it a promising go-to after Will Smith's controversial year in 2022, after which he's only released one movie.
