Will Smith overcame some of the worst reviews of his career with Hancock, jacking off to the top spot for the U.S. Independence Day holiday weekend.
The superhero flick sold an estimated $66 million worth of tickets across the United States and Canada during the three day weekend beginning July 4. Since opening on July 2 - with Tuesday-night previews added into Wednesday sales - the film has earned $107.3 million, becoming Smith’s 8th consecutive No. 1. The newly abducted Scientologist has ruled the July 4 holiday weekend on five times already, beginning with 1996’s Independence Day.
Last week’s #1 film, the animated robot love story, Wall-E, finished off at #2, with Wanted, Get Smart, and Kung-Fu Panda rounding off the Top 5.
