  1. After Earth Box Office

    nearly 100 mil in a week? nice "flop" I say

    The Will Smith-Jaden Smith sci-fi After Earth delivered a decent if not spectacular result, given that it was active in more than 60 markets. The early running total climbed to $48.6m including last weekend’s launch in South Korea.

    Sony Pictures International Releasing sources said the overall launch was bigger than debuts in the same territories of Oblivion ($45.1m), The Last Airbender($42.7m) and Jaden Smith vehicle The Karate Kid($32.3m).

    A ribbon of number one releases was led by Russia on $8.5m, Mexico on $5.3m, France on $4m and the UK on $3.5m. Italy generated $2.2m, Brazil $2.1m, Malaysia a terrific $2m, Germany $1.9m, Indonesia $1.6m and Taiwan $1.3m.

    Tucked in behind After Earth by the most slender of margins was Universal Pictures International’s global smash Fast & Furious 6.

    Don't ever bet againts Will!

    I start to wonder if the reviewers have actually seen the same film... another great review below

    "Unfortunately, most folks won’t be fair to this film because of the other titles in Shyamalan’s lineage. A few of the reviews I’ve browsed over have made some baseless claims that don’t necessarily point out anything that’s wrong with the movie.

    Honestly, I bet that a few folks were a little disappointed they didn’t get to chow down on this movie like they expected to. Sure, I love penning the occasional bad review as much as the next guy, but when a film deserves credit, I give credit to where it’s due.

    In a perfect world, After Earth gets Shyamalan and J. Smith a few calls for upcoming projects. It’s an emotionally gripping tale of survival that should rise above whatever hollow cynicism already exists about the film’s existence.

    It’s the homerun that Shyamalan needed to get back in the good graces of this filmgoer."

    The producer-actor is expected to stir up a media frenzy during his three-day stay in the country with his son and co-star Jaden Smith.

    HONG KONG – Will Smith’s After Earth Asian promotional tour continues today in Taiwan, where the star is scheduled to meet local media and do some meet-and-greets with fans in the capital city of Taipei.

    our editor recommends

    Arriving Thursday evening in Taiwan after a promotional stop in Japan, Smith and his son, actor Jaden Smith, were greeted by ecstatic stargazers at the airport and also at the downtown hotel where they are staying. The father-son duo will next appear at a public event for After Earth at 7pm tonight. The highlight of the event, apart from the Smiths, will reportedly involve the film’s title being lasered onto the 1,600-foot exterior of Taipei 101, the tallest skyscraper in the city.

    Speaking to the Taiwanese press, a spokesman for Sony Taiwan – the distributor of After Earth on the island – said Smith has refused offers to enter and leave venues through special exits, and that he requested organizers to lengthen the red carpet to the Friday night event so that he can sign more autographs.

    It’s a goodwill move that mirrors Tom Cruise’s visit to Taipei last month, when he drew acclaim from local media for spending two and a half hours signing autographs for fans waiting outside the venue of his press launch for Oblivion.

    But Smith has already proved eager to top Cruise in appeasing local fans. He reportedly spent time greeting fans at Songsan airport Thursday night and signed autographs for fans not just on on paper, but also on an American dollar bill.

    Smith will field questions during an international press conference on Sunday, followed by an appearance at a function organized by the charitable organization, the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families, at the Taipei 101, where he will present gifts to 100 underprivileged kids and then join them in a promotional exercise designed to drum up support for the protection of the environment.

    Jaden Smith will conclude the pair’s Taiwanese visit on Monday with an appearance alongside the Singaporean-born, Taiwan-based singer Lin Jun Jie to promote his fashion line, MSFTS. The Asian After Earth promo tour will next take the Smiths to South Korea.
