To be fair to him, Martin Lawrence doesn't actually have that many box office duds to his name, though the diminishing returns of Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son nevertheless spoke volumes of how his favour with audiences nevertheless started faltering a few years ago.

Perhaps in order to spare himself the indignity of flop after flop, Lawrence has basically taken himself out of the running in recent years, and aside from his cancelled 2014 TV show Partners, hasn't been up to much at all.

At least Lawrence can sit comfortable knowing that two Bad Boys sequels are in the works, and considering how highly anticipated they are, they both seem destined to be at least decent box office successes. He'll be fine...as long as the films actually get made, of course.
