Will Smith surprised an audience that went out to see his new film Bad Boys: Ride or Die during its opening weekend. May and the Memorial Day weekend underperformed at the box office, but luckily June is getting off to a much better start, thanks in large part to Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The fourth Bad Boys film generated $56 million domestically for a global total of $104.6 million, which already puts it as one of the more successful movies of 2024. With audiences excited for some Bad Boys, Will Smith decided to join them by sneaking into an audience screening.

Will Smith shared a video on Instagram where he surprised a Los Angeles audience that went to see Bad Boys: Ride or Die. As Smith states in the Instagram video, he likes to see his movies during their opening weekend and hide in the audience. “It’s a ritual I have. I like to do it when I have a movie come out, Friday, Saturday, usually a matinee on Sunday. I like going to theaters,” he said. He then wears a mask and sits at the top of the theater, filming the audience as they laugh at the jokes in Bad Boys 4. After the movie lets out Smith walks with the crowd out of the theaters, where he removes his mask to make his presence known. He’s then swarmed by the crowd and poses for videos and pictures, with one fan giving Bad Boys: Ride or Die a “10 out of 10” rating.
