Yeah, I think we can all agree that these are pretty horrible numbers. It's his what, second highest weekend opening? It clearly should have been his first. What's worse, it's only about 10 million more than his third highest weekend opening. He just barely beat that. 62 million in three days is pretty pathetic. Moreover, it didn't even get over 100 million in 5 days. Granted, they had a few showings on Tuesday night, and many of those who saw it that Tuesday would have likely seen it on Wednesday or one of the following days, but we should ignore those numbers, because, technically, it's not 5 days... This movie is officially a flop, I'm calling it. :thumbdown:

Superman Returns was a horrible movies... Don't diss Hancock like that man, lol.

I just came back from seeing it, and I have to say, it was pretty good. I liked the humor, the action, and the drama. Also, about 5 minutes into the film, I forgot it was Will until I walked out of the theater. It was weird, but he did such a great job being Hancock... the attitude is something that is exceedingly alien to who Will Smith is and the kinds of roles he's taken before, and he pulls it off very well. I do think the story could have been a little better... not that it needed a drastic change, but they could have flushed it out more. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.

You mean in the 5 day span?

150 million would be very impressive, though I too don't think it will hit that. 125 million sounds like a more reasonable estimate.

The girl in the video is bipolar and was off of her medication. She has a medical issue that makes her act the way she does. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/16249105/detail.html

Another re-shoot. This should be interesting.

That woman is enjoying that entirely too much. :stickpoke:

Some random DC rapper went at Jay over this Lebron/Stevenson controversy and completely pulled a Nas on Jay... Haven't heard a diss track this good in some time... http://www.zshare.net/audio/1119889428557c2c/

This movie is going to be hilarious. Pure blockbuster, plain and simple... "Call me a jerk one more time..." "Jerk... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Congratulations Schnazz!!!

Depends on how good the script is I think. We know Will is good enough and we know Barack's story is captivating, that's for sure.

This would be an epic film... :wickedwisdom:

Props to Jaden.

Enemy of the State and 300 are definitely my favorite action movies.

Let me set the record straight. Will was the first to be criticized as a soft and fake rapper by a number of the gangster rappers way back in the 80s. He was mentioned by name and was personally attacked and dismissed for his style of music. Inversely, Will criticized gangster rap in general and addressed why he didn't adopt the style. I think Will framed the argument perfectly in Lost and Found... The key question is what are we saying to children, teens and young adults. Why are we pumping poison into the minds and hearts of our youth simply to make money. I personally find the notion that "it's just business and people are just trying to make money" utterly reprehensible. It's the same asinine justification the tabacco companies used when they argued that cigarettes don't hurt anyone. It's one thing for a rapper to speak about the experiences and challenges of his environment, but it's another thing entirely to glorify violence, drug use, and misogyny... and that's what Will was addressing when he criticized ganger rap. Just to flush out the idea of people being judged by what they do for a living... If, for a living, I chose to work for a non-profit that sought to set up educational centers in urban areas, I would hope that reflected positively on me. We can't say that as long as it is about money, it doesn't matter what you do. If what you do has a negative effect on people, on communities, and on a culture, there comes a point where you have to step back and question what you do and whether your "business" is worth the cost.

Happy Birthday Man!!!! :tee: :tee:

Lol... this kid is funny...

That pretty much sums up the issue...

Props to Will and Queen Latifah for getting involved in this.

Nothing to really post about lately.

And what's with the double talk concerning Obama not being ready to be President, but being a great Vice President on a Clinton/Obama ticket? The Clinton campaign has been trying to reassure voters that if they win the nomination, they can get two for the price of one... Unfortunately, this doesn't jive with their statements that Obama is not ready to be President... Here's Obaba's response... More ether...

Obama killed in Mississippi last night, but it seems some in and connected to the Clinton campaign are intent on continuing the race baiting. I'm split between whether this is simply a case of individuals saying stupid things or whether this is strategic... For those of you familiar with Geraldine Ferraro, the nations first female vice presidential nominee, here's what she had to say concerning why she thought Obama has done so well... When she was called on it by the Obama campaign, she defended herself by saying: Here's Obama's response: Obama keeps spitting that ether...

Thanks everyone!!! Man, I'm getting old!
