Smith and Lawrence made millions from Bad Boys.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have starred in the Bad Boys franchise since the '90s and were paid hefty salaries for their portrayals. With Smith portraying Detective Sergeant Marcus Burnett and Lawrence Detective Mike Lowry, the pair have made their mark with the Bad Boys franchise grossing $840.7M at the global box offices. The pair, both celebrated stars, were high earners through their tenure in Hollywood.
The stars and the film saw success after the initial 1995 Bad Boys release, and it bolstered the stars' earning potential for the next film. While scheduling and creative disputes within the cast and crew almost led to the end of the franchise, both actors returned for the sequel to much-improved salaries.
Will Smith Made $39M For All 3 Bad Boys Movies At the release of the first Bad Boys movie, Smith was still making a name for himself in Hollywood and was less in demand than his co-star, Martin Lawrence. It is reported that Smith made $2 million for the film , a considerably low number compared to his salary for the other Bad Boys films. Even after the wild success of the first film, Bad Boys II took eight years to be released, giving Smith time to grow as an actor.
With the success of the Bad Boys franchise it's no surprise that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence collected over $30M each from their portrayals. While there is much speculation about the fourth Bad Boys installment, it's unclear how much the stars will be paid for reprising their wildly popular roles.
