‘Bad Boys 4’ Moves In On ‘The Crow’ During Early June

Sony’s Bad Boys Sequel had a theatrical release date of June 14 however, the studio really wants June 7, and that’s where they’re dating the Will Smith-Martin Lawrence reteam.

All of this comes in the wake of Lionsgate pushing their John Wick spinoff the Ballerina a year from June 7 to June 6, 2025. The Santa Monica, CA -based studio after making that move backfilled the date with their reboot of The Crow from filmmaker Rupert Sanders.

However, Sony will have Imax and PLFs for Bad Boys 4, which is still awaiting a title.

Bad Boys for Life filmmakers, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, return to direct Smith and Lawrence off a screenplay by Chris Bremner. Producers are Jerry Bruckheimer, Smith and Doug Belgrad. EPs are Lawrence, James Lassiter, Chad Oman, Mike Stenson, Barry Waldman and Jon Mone.

Bad Boys 4 also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Paola Núnez, Jacob Scipio, Eric Dane and Ioan Gruffudd.

Through three movies, the Bad Boys franchise counts $841M at the global box office.

With its move to early June, Bad Boys 4 leaves behind Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 on Father’s Day weekend; the relentless word of mouth from distribution sources being that the sequel will be massive.
