Will Smith’s “I Am Legend” killed the box office this weekend with the biggest opening ever in the month of December with $77.4 million definitely solidifying him as the world’s biggest blockbuster star today.
“Some amazing numbers were posted for this weekend’s No. 1 and No. 2 movie releases. Village Roadshow/Warner Bros’ I Am Legend opened $77.4 million — almost double the studio’s hoped-for $50 million — after making a whopping $30.2 million Friday and $29 million Saturday (-4%) in 3,606 theaters for first place. This more than demonstrates that Will Smith is now the biggest U.S. box office stud bar none and breaks his previous opening record (I Robot’s $62 mil in summer).”
“It’s nice to be in the Will Smith business,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros. “He is just the No. 1 box-office star in the world today.”
Mediaoutrage – Will has done it again. Even though we still feel that Denzel is a way better actor Will Smith is definitely still the biggest movie star in the business. Now if Denzel’s stardom ever catches up to his tremendous acting talent its a rap and every actor can just start filling out applications at McDonald’s. But congrats Will and keep doing your thing.
