AntiMCU: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. |

AntiMCU: 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. 3 Likes |

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. |

KoiceReloaded: For some reason, you're always disputing my posts. 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. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 9:36am On Jul 14, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded: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. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 9:56am On Jul 14, 2019 |
mekaprime: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. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 9:57am On Jul 14, 2019 |
AntiMCU: 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. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 10:00am On Jul 14, 2019 |
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. |

AntiMCU:kindly add Collateral Beauty to Smith's flop. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 10:05am On Jul 14, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded: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. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 10:11am On Jul 14, 2019 |
AntiMCU: You quoted the unedited post, but it doesn't matter... Can't argue with the bolded, you're right. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 10:12am On Jul 14, 2019 |
mekaprime: 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... |
