the infamous Oscars smack, when Smith stormed the stage of the Dolby Theater and slapped presenter Chris Rock for making a jab about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, it still stings for many ticket-buyers. Let alone Rock.The actor’s televised assault of the comic and unhinged shouts of “Get my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!” shattered his public image as a charismatic and funny life of the party who could wring laughs even out of a devastating alien invasion.The hit was enough to get him banned from the Oscars until 2032.

Jordan Moreau It might take some “Bad Boys” to save this summer’s bad box office start. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence‘s “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” has made $5.875 million in Thursday previews at the box office so far. Sony and Columbia’s fourth “Bad Boys” movie, and the follow-up to 2020’s surprise hit “Bad Boys for Life,” is expected to open between $45 million and $50 million this weekend.

Sony‘s R-rated Bad Boys: Ride or Die did $5.875M yesterday at previews that began at 3PM, an amount of cash, which actually is only 8% off from the previews of the franchise’s previous long-awaited threequel, 2020’s Bad Boys for Life, which did $6.36M. That’s a great start for Bad Boys: Ride or Die as it enters what has been an embattled marketplace due to lack of movie inventory from the strikes, not to mention — there hasn’t been any mass-appealing movies, that is outside of Disney/20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (which just crossed $144.3M). Audience reaction last night to the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reteam was 5 stars and 88% positive on Screen Engine/Comscore’s PostTrak, while Rotten Tomatoes audience score stands at 97%.
