Big Box-Office For 'Hancock'
Myself, I don't get this "Hancock" movie (though I do love those tagged billboards).
"
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.
"It was a familiar place for Smith, one of Hollywood's most-consistent draws. "Hancock" is his fifth movie to open at No. 1 over the Fourth of July. The others were 'Men in Black' and its sequel, 'Independence Day' and 'Wild Wild West.'
"'Will Smith, Mom, apple pie and the Fourth of July. It doesn't get any better,' said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. 'People just so relate to him and the characters that he plays. They totally embraced it as something different, something fresh.'"
Whatever. Maybe that's his version of the Fourth of July. It's all about Dad, cherry pie and the ludicrously entertaining violence of "Wanted" for my fourth (well, except for the Dad part, maybe illegal fireworks, which is sort of like my Dad but that's another story).
Anyway, here's the top five movies over the weekend:
1. "Hancock," $66 million.
2. "WALL-E," $33.4 million.
3. "Wanted," $20.6 million.
4. "Get Smart," $11.1 million.
5. "Kung Fu Panda," $7.5 million.
