Has Will Smith made any movies that could be a legit flop?

[Milk N Cookies]

I asked this question in the MTV movie Award thread. if Wild Wild West was that big of a flop & if there were others. It seems to be getting a lot of feedback. I'm going to open this up to everyone. So, let's talk about it.
Has he made any true box office bombs?

After Earth?

 

[Achille]

Some will say After Earth, it flopped domestically but made ok money internationally.

After Earth?

nah hate for Jaden flopped after earth

After Earth?

Okay, I've heard mixed reviews on it. I've heard a few (literally) say it's decent if you can ignore all the bad stuff said about it and focus on the movie in general.

I found it decent and found it suspicious that (cuz they didnt exactly steal from other movies of the same type but at the same time they didnt exactly reinvent the wheel) when there have been similar movies with white cast and white children being saviors those movies get hailed and loved and for the most part a positive spin is put on them..... but the moment its some blacks being heroic its a terrible movie?

Coincidence?

I think not

nah hate for Jaden flopped after earth

Jaden will never get accepted, and the fact that he's one of those androgynous types won't help, not that a person should weigh their acceptance so heavy, still I say poor Jaden.

Just saying... think about how many "Kid Savior" or "Kid saves world" movies have came out in the last 5 years... hell 10!!! How many have been shytted on?

Especially the ones where the kids really have no training but are able to overcome all impossible odds and never ever as much as get a scratch on them

 

[Phillyrider807]

Only one i can think of is After earth and even that made its budget back.

 

[MartyMcFly]

After earth but that's a domestic flop. I don't know how much the studio spent on it but I know it didn't make as big of a profit for them as they needed or wanted or expected. Oh and wild Wild West. Warner bros had to eat that one.

not only people never forgot karate kid(started with day earth stood still) but this interview was where it all went from bad to worse


I mean i've never seen people hate so much that they equate a character an actor played in a movie(day earth stood still) to real life. THey used that letterman appearance as confirmation.

 

[loyola llothta]

In the movie department Will been taking "L's" in the last three years or so

 

[Ziggiy]

Wasnt a damn thing wrong with After Earth. Cacs ripped it to shreds because of the obvious

It DID flop domestically but made up for it internationally

Focus did 150 mil on a 50 million dollar budget, definitely not a flop

Concussion only did 50 against a 35 Millie budget but that was an Oscar bait movie, if I'm not mistaken it's his first movie ever to not top out at at least a 50 Million dollar gross so you could qualify it as a flop if you were inclined.

He's got Suicide Squad, which at this point is almost a guaranteed blockbuster, and Collateral Beauty, another Oscar bait film, up next. After that he's confirmed to be doing Bad Boys 3 so big Willie still got something left in the tank

 

[KalKal]

After Earth was just painful to watch. It's the only movie I ever turned off 90% of the way through. No matter how bad a movie is, once you get that far into it you usually stick it out just to see how it ends. But I couldn't make it through the final confrontation with the alien in After Earth.

What about Hancock
