Will Smith and Charlize Theron have signed up to reprise their roles in a sequel to 'Hancock,' according to a new report.
There is no denying Will Smith’s worldwide appeal. Hancock (Sony), which grossed $103.9M in its opening five and a half days, had a very strong $8.5M on Monday, and my sources believe that there is no scenario where the movie fails to top $200M domestic.
Hollywood is gearing for what is certain to be a spectacular 5-day 4th of July holiday movie-going period with two strong holdovers and a brand new PG-13-rated superhero picture starring the world’s biggest box office draw.
By Monday, July 7, Will Smith will be the undisputed No. 1 movie star in the world. My sources tell me that tracking for Hancock (Sony) is in the stratosphere, and its five-day gross will be, conservatively, in the $140M-$150M range, with a bigger number highly possible. That would give the former Fresh Prince his eighth consecutive $100M+ grossing movie, topping the all-time best streaks of two fellow screen legends.
Just got off the phone with a competing studio, and they report that Hancock (Sony), starring the world's biggest movie star Will Smith, is off to a spectacular start. Despite lukewarm-to-negative reviews (only 34% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), the new superhero movie for the TMZ/Perez Hilton generation delivered an estimated $6.8M in Tuesday night previews, starting at 7 p.m.
