8 Hit Wonder?

Filed under: Film Flickers > Will Smith

Will Smith will probs be the undisputed #1 movie star in the world in a few weeks.

According to industry predictions, Smith's new flick, Hancock, (in theaters July 2nd) is destined for a $140-$150 million opening weekend, which would mark the 8th consecutive film for Will that would make $100 million or more at the box office!

No other actor has done that before!

Wills must be glad that the box office curse plaguing his good friend, Tom Cruise hasn't rubbed off on him!

We have to admit that we think Hancock's superhero needs rehab storyline is pretty clever.

Plus, funnyman Jason Bateman is in the flick.

Will U see Hancock?

      Ummm…the superhero who needs rehab was made famous by Iron Man back in the day when he dealt with alcoholism. So, in essence, "Hancock" is ripping off of Iron Man. Not very original. Perez, do your research before you write things (And this is coming from someone who reads your blog everyday and is a big fan).

      Why would anyone see a movie with a Scientologist in it???

      Perez, you really need to grow up and get a life. Why would you even make a statement like that? "Wills must be glad that the box office curse plaguing his good friend, Tom Cruise hasn't rubbed off on him!" For real?? Will Smith's last film, which was released less than a year ago, broke records!!!!! So in addition to ALL the movies that he has done in the past, I highly doubt a HATER such as yourself could stand in the way! You are the one who seems to add up as the "FAKE" to me! Oh, and by the way, since you thought enough of Will Smith to even make him a topic for the day, ask him to send your fat ass some money to lose all that fucking weight you coward!!!!

      108

      I don't understand why people compare him to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise's movies SUCK. He is So fucking TIRED. He has nothing on Will Smith.
      And for all you racist SOB - just give him his props - Pleaseeeeeeeeee.
      He earned it you Racist slobs. Perez - I'm done with your website. Anyone who is Black and intelligent - visit other BLACK websites. Trust me you can have REAL intelligent blogs without all the Racism. Even when a Black person does something good - these WHITE, etc. you know who you are - are so fucking JEALOUS. gET OVER THE TIRED ASSES ALREADY. tHIS IS MY LAST TIME ON YOUR WEBSITE PEREZ- i LIKE YOU - BUT i DONT LIKE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. BYE

      I don't care of Will Smith and haven't seen a Will Smith movie in years. And yet, there is something "interesting" about "Hancock". It's the anti-hero Hero thing, I guess. And I really like Jason Bateman. So glad he made it as an adult actor (he was always much better actor than Rick Schroeder).

      So I guess I will see "Hancock". But the movie of the summer will be "The Dark Knight". Heath will get an an Oscar nomination for this performance.

      Oh and one more thing PEREZ before I vacate your site. I'm gonna let TMZ (your buddy in media) know the same thing. All you both do is cater to a bunch of RACIST assholes.

    15. 115

      Of course! Hancock looks really funny and Will Smith always does a great job.

    21. RadPi says – reply to this


      121

      Yes, and btw, it takes 7 IQ to breath so apperantly the Will Smith fan club would be all dead… Will Smith is a great actor, not a great musician. SO he made a good choice.

      He'll win an oscar someday.

      All the Scientologist clear off this board so we can get real and find out that most people are sick of this guy and his lame movies.

      of course im going to see the movie..wow what kind of question!!!!



    25. 125

      Yes, I will watch the movie…maybe not in theaters but definitely via Netflix! Wills is my favorite actor…next to Bruce Campbell, who isn't doing too much anymore. :(

      126

      IT'S REALLY JUST A SAD COMMENTARY ON THE STATE OF THE MOVIES WHEN THIS CGI DRIVEL SITS AT THE TOP OF THE HOLLYWEIRD MONEYMAKING MACHINE. GUESS WILLY CAN UP HIS DONATION TO THE "CHURCH" OF SCIENTOLOGY.
      HMMMMMMMMM, BETTER YET, CRUISE CAN SUCK WILL'S 'WILLY' AND MAYBE HE WILL GIVE TOMASINA A PART IN HIS NEXT BLOCKBUSTER PIECE OF CRAP.
      ……………'COURSE MS CRUISE WOULD SUCK IT FOR FREE, BUT DON'T TELL WILL. SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

      Boycott all $cientologists, all their projects, and all those who promote them. Your money will only end up in the hands of a dangerous cult.

      I'm so sick of you jealous people always saying mean things about people. Stop being jealous of celebs who make a living for themselves. Dumb Jerks.

      132

      why do you want this man to be gay so badly. He and Tom are good friends nothing more. I know, that's impossible for a queer to believe, but yes, straights have friendships with the same sex without sex, it's normal, but with your defective gay brain you wouldn't understand now would you.

      YESSSSSSSSSSS!

    35. kdf says – reply to this


      135

      Yes Definately. I think he enjoys so much success at the box office because he picks films that are in general family friendly. Although some may be scary there is nothing too extreme that at least a family with young teens could go see. His movies appeal to all ages, and he's a great actor & family man!

    36. Rich says – reply to this


      136

      no i doubt ill see this
      im tired of Will Smith
      theres something about his inflection when he acts that just isnt very believable
      hes too static an actor in my opinion i cant take him seriously anymore

      any movie with the word COCK in the title is bound to be good.

      141

      Although some of his music isn't the best, and some of his movies have really, really sucked ("Wild Wild West"…) I will definitely go see Hancock. It looks really funny :)

      Men in Black
      Men in Black II
      Wild Wild West
      Independence Day

      Damn! Is Will screwing up his face like that while kissing his wife Jada?! Doesnt seem like he's enjoying that. I wish he could turn off. He's always "on", performing, pretending, acting; kind of like Robin Williams. Will the real Will please stand now. lol. Still, I'm a fan. I will see the flick. Love his wife, even though she's a pretender too. (have you seen her performing as a "rock star"? What is that? The contrast between her on stage and her in the media makes it seem like she's playing a role. And who wants to watch a karaoke concert, seriously. Anyhoo, best wishes to them.

      I'll see it because there's nothing else out. I'd rather see the Dark Knight instead. Hancock doesn't look as good. Who the hell is Jason Bateman and why do you keep mentioning him?
