He was in Murder on the orient express and Mordecai, and you wouldn't even notice.

Dude needs to take a break and rebrand himself.

AntiMCU:

Yep!

If I were a friend, I would advice him to leave Hollywood for some time.

Rebrand himself and comeback without all that weirdness.

This man has peaked, if he isn't having his face painted for a role like in Dark shadows, Charlie and the chocolate factory, the lone ranger or Alice in wonderland...he can't do much.

KoiceReloaded:
This DC and Marvel fanboys sef?

Is it too much of a burden to simply enjoy the best of both worlds, you know, like a normal human being? Niggaz be arguing 'bout Captain Marvel and Shazam as if their very existence depend on it.

Never use Captain Flatass and Shazam again in the same sentence.

AntiMCU:

If dude doesn't take time, he'll die young.
He still gained weight for his role in Vice.
Modifying his body weight like that would have consequences.

And it's such dedication one person here is saying someone like Ibu can do ? Yan Yan Yan

Kudos, you summed it up perfectly. Also, i loved how the filmmakers added an exhausted element of twisted religious themes & allowed Crowe's character spout Bible quotes one after the other, to tease his foes & justify his actions.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.. Proverbs 21:2
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction...Proverbs 13:3...
Am planing on seeing Unforgiven(1992) . Another western classic, directed by Clint Eastwood. Are you ware if it's worth it?

Seen it once, and it's okay, but if you've seen True Grit, you won't be seeing something you haven't seen before.

If you take your vitamins, exercise a lot, and stick to a strict diet, you'll be alright.

AntiMCU:

Correct me if I'm wrong, the last time he took a role in a non-eccentric character from my memory was in Transcedence.
That film tanked badly.

The hippy that digitalized his consciousness, right. That's another eccentric role.

Lolz, so of all the talented Nollwood actors we've got, u picked Ibu.

AntiMCU:

I just love this guy.

Me thinks he and Jamie Foxx are some of the best black actors in Hollywood right now.

Far better than Will Smith: though Will has a better box office pull.

Not anymore. Jamie Foxx has more pull than Will Smith in Hollywood atm. Denzel is a crowd favorite, and have always had more pull than Will Smith even at the height of Will Smith's movie career.

Will Smith movie career isn't what it used to be, and when you've consistently featured in a series of box office bombs, it's the natural outcome. Bottom line, he has lost his X factor in the sense that his presence doesn't guarantee a box office success anymore. Long gone are the days of I Am Legend.

Will Smith ironically made Jamie Foxx movie career. He turned down the titular role in D'jango Unchained because of some creative difference, and Tarantino called up Jamie Foxx to play D'jango in his stead. The rest, like they say, is history.

You'll know those movies you watch once and you just delete immediately and never want to see them again. Well here are my top 10 horrible movies so far...

Us
Captain marvel
Shaft
Brightburn
Dumbo
Glass
What men want
Little
I am mother
Pokemon detective.

I'll probably rate all of them 5/10.

Ibu is the face of Nollywood

tully 3/10
for a movie portraying post Partum depression, I did expect a more retributive mother-children ending with lots of twist. Charlize Theron did well with her script sha, for an actress known for action figures, I neva pictured her playing the role of a mother that well.
next....... seven psychopath.

Anabelle Comes Home
Please, they should rest with this franchise. It has do.

So I won't say too much on this. But how can you say Jamie Foxx has more pull than Will in Hollywood B.O.

In as much as I agree Foxx is more Talented than Smith, the latter has more pull and charisma of a movie star.

Foxx
Robinhood (Supporting role)
B.D: 100 million
B.D: 84 million

Baby Driver (Supporting role)
B.D: 34
B.O: 226

Sleepless (Lead)
B.D: 30
B.O: 32

Annie (Lead)
B.D: 78
B.O: 133.8

Horrible Bosses (Supporting)
B.D: 57
B.O: 107

Smith
Aladdin (Lead)
B.D: 183
B.O: 929.4

Collateral Beauty (Lead)
B.D: 40.3
B.O: 88.5

Suicide Squad (Lead)
B.O: 746.8
B.D: 175

Concussion (Lead)
B.O: 48.6
B.D: 57

Focus (Lead)
B.O: 159.1
B.D: 50.1

I wonder how someone will look at the above (their last 5 films) and tell me Foxx is now a better draw.

Foxx might be more accomplished/talented in acting than Smith. But Smith still has the pull.
Come on dude.


I purposely omitted Bright for Smith, because we can't gauge what is "Success" for streaming platforms.

But last I heard a sequel is in the works and I don't know how that would happen if the first isn't that successful.

You mentioned Smith starring in a series of flops.
Which ones? Just 2 while Foxx has 3 to his name although he was a supporting cast on one of them.


Between 2013 and now,
Smith:
After Earth
Concussion

Foxx:
White House Down
Sleepless
Robinhood

And if you're are willing to go far back
Then I'll remind you that for every Wild Wild West we have Stealth.

Smith's presence in a film might not be effective as it used to be, but come tomorow or the next, he has a better draw than Foxx. Though Foxx is more talented/accomplished as an actor.

AntiMCU:

Denzel Washington remains my best Hollywood black actor. He's one actor I have empathy for whatever character he plays. And whatever role he plays, he engages the audience(me) with his act, because he fully immenseness himself in the character he plays & the rest of the lot, like the creative insight, confidence, and dedication to perform etc.. falls in place. His portrayal of John Q in the movie John Q left me in commiserate state for his character & gave me teary eyes almost all through the flick, in The Great debaters his character inspired me a lot, as he perfectly portrayed the virtues of integrity, cleverism, leadership & humility at its very peak....The list is quite endless.

You've summed it perfectly.
Some of his best works in my opinion:

American Gangster
Fences
Training Day
Flight

He's one of the best bro.

In regards to the bolded, it isn't intentional. I usually quote comments I don't agree with.


As for your list, you're forgetting one important factor: demographic. Will Smith plays it safe by going for PG-12 stuff, which automatically guarantees a padded Box Office numbers, but Jamie goes for the R-rated, geared towards mature audience only.


Trust me, Jamie Foxx has better cred than Will Smith right now.

AntiMCU:

Foxx goes for the nitty gritty roles that are geared towards a specific demographic, whilst Will Smith goes for more kid friendly roles. Ofc the kid friendly roles will sell more.

Anyhoo, To counter your selective listing, I'm gonna be more transparent and list out the last 11 films by both actors and their varying box office successes. Will Smith goes first

- After Earth
Budget: $150 million
Box Office: $243.8 million

- Focus
Budget: $50.1 million
Box Office: $159.1 million

- Concussion
Budget: $57 million
Box Office: $48.6 million

Yes I agree.
Will Smith usually plays safe by going for a particular type of film where he gets to be the cool guy.

While Foxx on the other hand stars in mature films with more range.

Which is why I opined that Foxx is a better actor than Smith.

But look at the numbers bro and besides Hollywood isn't a charity.

A studio can conveniently waste 200 million dollars on a Smith starred flick.

Can they do the same for Foxx.

Padded or not.
Smith is the money magnet
Foxx is the better actor.

You quoted the unedited post, but it doesn't matter...

Can't argue with the bolded, you're right.

mekaprime:

kindly add Collateral Beauty to Smith's flop.

Flop in terms of what bro?
Critically or Box office.

If critically, Collateral Beauty is 14 percent on RT.
Same applies to Foxx's Annie which is 28 percent.

If box office wise, Collateral Beauty made 88 mill on a 40 mill budget.

The same also applies for Foxx's Annie: 133 mill on a 78 mill budget.


So if I'm adding Collateral Beauty for Smith, then by all means I'll add Annie for Foxx.

Come on guys...
Give me something here.
The figures are staring right at us...

Smith starred in Suicide Squad.

Made over 700 million dollars without a release on china...

true, captain marvel in the same sentence with flopzam is an insult to billion dollars club members.

Flopzam should be in the same sentence with Indian movies, and other below 400 million box office failures.
