The industry is now grappling with strikes, causing several movies to face delays and disrupted timelines. However, Sony is experiencing the opposite effect, especially with their Bad Boys movie, which is slated to hit the markets early.
Initially announced for release on June 14th, Will Smith’s Bad Boys will now hit theaters earlier, considering the busy June slate. With May 24th set for the release of The Garfield Movie, which has the potential to be an animation hit, and June 21st reserved for the Colleen Hoover storm, It Ends With Us, June promises to be packed for Sony.
To navigate this crowded schedule, Sony has decided to reschedule Bad Boys to a new release date. Currently, it’s slated for June 7th, a week earlier than its previous date. This move could prove beneficial for the studio, as spacing out the releases could ensure a better theatrical run.
Moreover, holding onto a potentially successful film while production wraps up would be detrimental to the studio. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will reprise their iconic roles, with Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah directing and Chris Bremner and George Gallo penning the script.
While there are no details available about the plot yet, the trailer is on the horizon, giving hope for the introduction of new villains.
