Bad Boys 4 will arrive earlier than expected
Bad Boys 4 will arrive in cinemas a week earlier than expected.
Initially the sequel was set for theatrical release on June 14, 2024, but that date has now been moved to June 7 (via Deadline).
This comes after Lionsgate decided to push the release date for its John Wick spin off Ballerina back by a year from June 7, 2024 to June 6, 2025. Lionsgate's The Crow reboot took Ballerina's spot and has a release date of June 7.

Bad Boys 4 is currently awaiting a title and sees filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah return to the franchise to direct Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
Written by Chris Bremner, the fourth instalment stars Vanessa Hudgens, Paola Núnez, Alexander Ludwig, Ioan Gruffudd, Jacob Scipio, and Eric Dane. Producers on the project are Smith, Jerry Bruckheimer and Doug Belgrad. Lawrence will serve as executive producer alongside Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, James Lassiter, Barry Waldman and Jon Mone.
Bad Boys 4 will serve as a sequel to the 2020 film Bad Boys for Life, which outperformed the 1995 film Bad Boys and its 2003 sequel Bad Boys II at the box office becoming the highest-grossing movie of the trilogy.

Last year, Smith gave fans a major update on the sequel, sharing a video in which he appeared alongside his co-star Lawrence to confirm the movie would officially be going ahead.
Taking to his TikTok, Smith shared a clip in which he could be seen driving to Lawrence's house.
"Yo, I've got an announcement. Y'all better stop scrolling," Smith said in the video. "I wish I was you, not knowing what I'm about to show me."
At Lawrence's house Smith announced that a fourth movie was on the way. "It’s about that time!" Lawrence added.
"Bad boys for life, baby," concluded Smith.
Bad Boys 4 will premiere on June 14, 2024.
