Eight years later, Bad Boys II (2003) did even better at the box office, raking in $273.3 million, although the bloated budget of $130 million ate up much of the additional profits.
The third installment, Bad Boys For Life (2020), ended up being the biggest hit of the three productions, earning $426.5 million while working with a $90 million budget.
Bad Boys 4 went into development that same year.
However, the film’s progress was reportedly halted in April 2022 due to Will’s infamous ‘slapgate’ scandal at the Oscars.
