i totally agree..many dont seem to wanna give Will his props..but hes the biggest movie star in the world.. the numbers speak for themselves :werd:

US Audiences Bewitched By Hitch Will Smith rom-com debuts with record showing 14 February 2005 Nobody likes a smug smart-arse, but today Empire’s colleagues will have to cope. For, ever since this Empire correspondent saw Will Smith’s first stab at romantic comedy at a crowded screening a couple of weeks back, we’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen – colleagues, friends, family, taxi drivers, Big Issue sellers – that Hitch was going to be huge. Mainly because it’s been a long time since we saw any film play so well – the audience laughed uproariously in all the right places, ‘aaaaah’-ed in others, and applauded when, well, certain characters got together. How huge are we talking? Try There’s Something About Mary huge. And you know what? We woz right… This weekend, Hitch – in which Smith plays a legendary New York date doctor whose wisdom and cool flies out the window when he meets a sassy and beautiful journalist (Eva Mendes) – stormed to the top of the US box office chart with an astonishing $45 million take. Appealing to audiences across the board – men, women, multi-racial - that makes it the biggest debut for a romantic comedy in history, and with around 92% of audience members declaring that they’ll recommend the movie, Empire expects that this very funny, smart and sweet rom-com has a shot at $200 million; it’s a safe bet that this won’t be Smith’s last stab at the genre… Hitch also gives Smith – the world’s biggest African-American box office draw – a set of stats that any star would be proud of. The I, Robot star has now opened seven movies to more than $45 million. He also now has an opening weekend average of $34.3 million – the highest of any actor. So maybe it’s time to throw away that ‘African-American’ part and call it as it is – right now, Will Smith is the biggest movie star in the world. Period. Hitch’s colossal opening (oo-er) re-energised the box office, which had been suffering somewhat from a dose of the SADs. http://www.empireonline.co.uk/site/news/ne...p?news_id=16554

i got both versions

hitch did 14.5 million friday 19.1 million saturday and they have predicted 11.9 million for sunday..that projection for sunday is real low.. i think it can atleast do 14 million up to 16.. so i think the actuals will be 47-50 million for hitch..once again people underestimated will predicting low to mid 30s but i always knew this was gonna be huge..plus you got valentines day monday..and a long weekend next week so this will race past 100 million in just over a week

yep i got it! :thumb:

the friday estimate for Hitch is 14.5 million... you know i always check out these box office prediction places and for bad boys II they were saying 30 million..for i robot they were sayin 30 million for sharktale they were saying 25 to 30 million and for hitch they were saying 27 to 34 million..AND THEY ARE ALL WRONG ALL THE TIME!! when are they gonna realise thae star power of Will Smith!!! :nhawong: anyway Hitch is looking like its gonna hit that 45-50 million mark..with good word of mouth and little competition i think it can make 200 million

we understand that but if we dont get another album from will or the planned jjfp tour because the fans didnt go out and support will and vote for switch that will be disappointing

im just happy hes on the west philly side of the pole!! :kekeke:
