I saw the trailer when I went to see a movie a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe what I saw, they actually killed the Black dude (Childish Gambino) in the damn trailer. Like we can't get make it out the trailer alive, lol.
I hate to say it but our boy Will Smith about to flop yet again this weekend

Premiere weekend over here in the uk and the cinema was half full
Film wasnt that good either

I told Will not to do this movie
Yep I said the other day the co star should have been nicole beharie
damn at the opening box numbers. He lost the juice brehs. I didn't even want to go see that shiit.
nicca need to go back to the franchise films.
b/c the interracial love story MADE the budget bigger.
The earning potential goes up. Black ppl are Will Smith fans, but there's way more white fans just in sheer number.....and white people more apt to go watch the film w/ a white love interest. It'd be different if it was a Tyler Perry project b/c then you're showing to a different crowd and you could do a black man/woman.
And keep it real, if they made a huge film w/ a LEADING Black woman being a pick-pocket, criminal, gold-digger, people would be complaining about it.

Can't front, 19.1 is pretty weak. But this film is basically independent for Will Smith. I mean 50 Million budget is low budget for him. With that said after seeing the movie I could see why even Will fans might be turned off. Again it seems Will has kind of put himself in a box. You see, people love Will's personality. Whenever Will plays a dark character it turns people off form him. The character in "Focus" is pretty dark just like the one from "7 Pounds".
So though people are seeing Will, they aren't seeing the happy Will they are used to. Overall people want Will to be the Hero, saved the world or win the day. "Focus" was still a decent movie, probably had 1 twist to many. I commend Will for taking a pay cut and doing something different. Also the interracial relationship obviously hurt it. It's very rare there's a movie where a Black Man is dominate over white female in a relationship. It's another #1 at the box office but it's not making 100 Million. But the movie was cool, it was a thriller so don't expect action. Loved all the pick pocketing scenes.
