Hopefully this track with Will leaks somehow then...

Yeah that's incredible!

US 9 After Earth $3,750,000 -65.0% $ $54,200,000 Overseas In its second weekend, After Earth fell 47 percent to $24 million. To date, the Will Smith/Jaden Smith sci-fi adventure has earned $91.1 million, which is unimpressive considering it's out in nearly all foreign markets already. It expands in to Japan next weekend, and will likely reach China as well at some point.

I thought this was a very interesting topic to bring up..because if you look through all these posts a lot of people did achieve their dreams..which is pretty awesome!

DJ Akademiks who is on twitter and has over 70,000 followers says this: "Oh By the Way . . . Kanye Has a Song with Will Smith thats on the International Version .. Japan Bonus Track. #Yeezus" @IamAkademiks

No but I have seen Jeff at Moon so this show brought back some memories!

Yeah that show Jeff does at Moon is crazyness! Good times! Loved the routine we got to see Jeff do at Russell Peters home in this episode!

I think he makes some good points about Will being in an ensemble cast and not controlling every aspect of his movies.. and choosing riskier roles. Django Unchained is the perfect example.

This is a great article. You really should read it! http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/78574/how-wed-fix-will-smiths-career-in-six-simple-steps

If you saw the 106 & Park interview Will actually said he recorded 2 tracks with Kanye and went back in the studio with him in L.A. Kanye sent him the tracks and said this would be a great way for you to come back out.. This track is obviously the one they did in Brazil. If this becomes a single and video it would be the perfect step for Will return to music.

Friday box office numbers are in.. After earth dropped to 6th with only 3 million. Lookin like an 8 million weekend, which is almost a 70% drop from last week. With Superman coming out next week it may only make $50 million in the US. With a budget of $130 million plus about $50 million for marketing I think we can officially label this a flop.

"You might have seen him on this little TV show called The Fresh Prince of Bel Air..."

The music is awesome but I just can't listen to a mix with Skillz yelling at me all the time.

This is interesting. Will talking about the movie opening at #3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpz-hUmLEy4

haha I love it

yeah might come over for a holiday at least.. I could do the manchester/london double

Hey Nicole I'll post it right now. Good idea!

Do we know the date for scala? Might be over for this if I can figure out what I'm doing with my life...

I'm a be honest. I hated that opening track. I thought this is awful! Jeff produced this??? Then the actual track started!! That beat is amazing! Imagine Will rhyming over that beat! Man Jeff's beats have been great lately..this, the mac miller track & the my faves vol 1..all great tracks & great sampling

shoots in August? damn that's fast

Well done Ale!! LOVE!

Yeah we gotta wait and see what the international box office is first after what happened with MIB3.. still it looks like it will only make about $70 million in the US.

But #3 After Earth earned only a ‘B’ CinemaScore which won’t help or hurt word of mouth. It opened to $9.8M Friday (including $1M from 9 PM Thursday late shows and Friday midnights) for a $27.2M weekend. That’s way less than the high $30sM to low $40sM which Sony was predicting and which tracking showed was possible right into Friday. Rival studios chortled it’s “2.5 times worse than Jaden Smith’s Karate Kid reboot and half of Oblivion‘s opening” with Tom Cruise. Not hard to understand why because reviews for the sci-fi newcomer were just plain awful: 13% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. To be fair, Sony Pictures rarely has a big underperformer like this. And rightly or wrongly depending on how much you care about Jaden Smith and/or nepotism in Hollywood, the studio positioned the movie as a broad family film, building on Jaden’s stardom from the worldwide hit The Karate Kid and reaching out to young teens and families. Will Smith’s residual mega-wattage was still strong enough to open the summer tentpole comfortably above $20M. But even that and Sony’s marketing prowess couldn’t overcome this Shyamalan meltdown, yet another in his string of box office stinkers which have made audiences and critics alike completely soured on him. (The director lost me forever after the execrable The Happening…) I’m told that Will really wanted M Night to direct – even though this subject matter decidedly wasn’t in Shyamalan’s wheelhouse - and they together developed the script for a “not terribly expensive” movie. But a budget of at least $130M is hardly insignificant. Still, given the fact that Smith has made billions for Sony Pictures, the studio felt it just couldn’t say no to its most successful movie partner. Now Smith and Sony must weather this very public failure. I’m told the studio worked “really hard” to fix this crapfest in post-production and that even an arrogant know-it-all like Shyamalan was aware the pic didn’t work but couldn’t fix it on his own. ”You keep hoping people are going to be as good as their best work,” one insider told me about this all-too-familiar filmdom situation. “Sometimes some collaborations bring forth amazing results. And some are not meant to be.” Without a solid opening in North America and no chance for a strong summer multiple, pic will have to depend on overseas grosses. Sony launched it internationally day and date in 3 locations this weekend, and Korea opened very strong, but the overseas rollout really begins next week and the week after.
