Sony Pictures’ Bad Boys film franchise is one of the top series in the industry, and the production has earned huge profits from this series. But if anyone has the biggest hand behind this success, then it is none other than the film’s lead heroes, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Especially if we talk about Will Smith’s charm, his contribution to this action comedy film is commendable, and now it is expected that Will Smith will play a vital role in the success of the fourth film too and will attract the audience to the theater.
The buzz around the film is quite good and guarantees success. But it is also true that after so many years, the production had to spend a lot on Will Smith to be a part of Bad Boys 4, and according to reports, Will Smith is charging a handsome amount for this film.
Will Smith Salary for Bad Boys 4
According to industry insiders, Will Smith has been paid $10 million upfront for his role in the fourth film of the Bad Boys franchise. $10 million is not a huge amount for an established actor like Will Smith, but in addition to the upfront salary, there is also a profit-sharing deal between the production and actor for his involvement in Bad Boys 4, which could prove to be a game-changer for Will Smith[1].
According to the buzz surrounding Bad Boys 4, it is poised to be a big blockbuster at the box office, and according to early predictions, it may earn a minimum of $400 million globally, while the maximum numbers are quite high. Considering the minimum numbers, Will Smith can earn around $25–30 million from the fourth film due to the profit share deal, which places him in the category of the highest-paid actor.
Leave aside Bad Boys 4’s salary; according to reports, Will Smith was paid $1 million for Bad Boys (1995) and earned $17 million from Bad Boys for Life (2020). Now earning $25 to $30 million is a big deal for Will Smith. Although Will Smith is an excellent and talented actor and gives 100% in every film he does, there is no doubt that he deserves so much, and anyway, production also benefits because of them, so these numbers are fine.
