Summary

• Bad Boys 4 releases in theaters on June 7, 2024, with IMAX showings, great for fans of the series and action movies.
• The movie will stream on Netflix post-theatrical release, expected around October 2024 due to Sony's deal.
• The digital release date for Bad Boys: Ride or Die is uncertain, but Sony typically does so 45 days after theatrical debut, possibly at the end of July or early August.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back, and there are different options for where to watch Bad Boys movie. The fourth installment of the franchise sees Bad Boys for Life's directors, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, return to directly build on the story told in the previous entry. Bad Boys 4 follows Mike and Marcus as they are framed for a crime and forced to go on the run to prove their innocence.

Thanks to the excitement created by Bad Boys for Life's ending and general success, audience interest was immediately high once Sony announced that a sequel would be made. Considering how much money the franchise has made at the box office before, Bad Boys 4 was always expected to get a theatrical release date. Still, at-home viewing options through a streaming or digital release have become increasingly viable and popular ways to watch new releases.

When Will Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Release On Streaming?

Bad Boys 4 Will Stream On Netflix

Sony has not announced when Bad Boys: Ride or Die will be released on streaming. However, it is known that it will stream on Netflix at a later date. This is because the two companies struck a deal that puts all new Sony movies on Netflix during the Pay 1 window. Sony's movies release on Netflix roughly 122 days after debuting in theaters on average, but it can be 150 days or longer, or as short as 90 days. Since the franchise is poised for box office success, Bad Boys 4 is projected to release on Netflix in October 2024.

When Will Bad Boys: Ride Or Die Release On Digital?

No Release Date Has Been Confirmed

Those wanting to watch Bad Boys 4 at home will have the first opportunity to do so with its digital release. Sony has yet to confirm when the movie will be available on most major PVOD services. The studio typically waits around 45 days after a film's theatrical debut. It can be longer, like between 53-67 days, if the movie is a box office hit. This might mean that Bad Boys 4's digital release could be in late July or early August. An official announcement for when to buy or rent Bad Boys: Ride or Die will come later.
