Will Smith Is Box Office GOLD

by Liam on June 19, 2008 · 4 comments

Hancock is set for release on July 2, and is set to make an estimated $150 MILLION over the five-day Fourth of July weekend! This will make his EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE $100 MILLION grossing movie!  Something no other actor has been able to accomplish.

Here are some interesting numbers:

MOST $100 MILLION MOVIES IN A CAREER (List includes animated films and excludes cameos)
hancocknew1 1. Tom Hanks — 15
2. Tom Cruise — 14
3. Eddie Murphy — 13
4. Will Smith — 12 (including Hancock)
4. Harrison Ford — 12
6. Jim Carrey — 11
6. Robin Williams — 11
8. Mel Gibson — 10
9. Matt Damon — 9
10. Bruce Willis — 8
10. Jack Nicholson — 8

Will’s streak started with Men in Black II, and continued with Bad Boys II, I, Robot, Shark Tale, Hitch, The Pursuit of Happyness, and I Am Legend, and will continue with Hancock, which is estimated to make upwards of $280 million domestically.

Damn! Wish we had Will’s golden touch!

This will put him in front of Hollywood legends Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise for the most consecutive $100 million grossers!  His next movie, Seven Pounds (helmed by Pursuit director, Gabriele Muccino), is set for release in December and could make his ninth!

    You and me both. Just curious if the $100M figures are adjusted for inflation, as otherwise it might give an advantage to the younger stars.
