In the tradition of “Iron Man”, Will Smith stars in yet-another-messed-up-superhero blockbuster that is “Hancock”.
Will Smith’s box-office superpowers remain intact. Smith’s “Hancock” – the story of a boozing, foul-mouthed superhero who dresses like a street bum – led the Fourth of July weekend with a $66 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That raised the total for Sony’s “Hancock” to $107.3 million since it opened Tuesday night to get a jump on the holiday.
“Hancock” also stars Charlize Theron and the movie is described as an “edgy, conflicted, sarcastic and misunderstood hero who might get the job done -but seems to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake”.
Here’s a look at the latest cumulative gross of the weekend’s top box office hits:
Hancock - $103.9 M
WALL-E – $127.2 M
Wanted - $90.2 M
Get Smart – $98.1 M
Kung Fu Panda – $193.2 M
“Hancock” is Will Smith’s fifth movie which opened at the top spot over his lucrative career in Hollywood. His other string of fourth-of-July hits includes “Independence Day”, “Men in Black” and “Wild Wild West”.
Despite the fact that the movie did not get a lot of favorable reviews from critics, the figures just goes to show that when a movie is topbilled by a hot superstar like Will Smith, the box office receipts will continue pouring in.


I love Will Smith and I cant wait to see this film.
