The King of Horror just gave a shoutout to Bad Boys: Ride Or Die - the latest flick from the Bad Boys Franchise - after the movie smashed the box office! Looks like he’s a big fan, just like a whole bunch of other movie-goers.
What did Stephen King Say?
You know Stephen King loves a good scare, but this time he's singing the praises of an action-comedy - which is kind of different for the horror maestro!

Not only that, it did super well in box office sales, grossing a whopping $400 million worldwide! It even made it to the top 10 for 2024 - coming in at No. 7 - not bad, huh?
What About The Characters?
- Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have made this a classic. And they didn’t disappoint in this latest film.
