"Collateral Beauty" has already had a bit of a hammering from film critics and fans, and things have just gotten worse.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the film has now given star Will Smith the worst wide debut of his career. Ouch.
Despite featuring Smith and a host of other big names, including Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, and Kate Winslet, the movie opened to just $7 million in ticket sales this weekend.
That puts it at fourth place in the US box office, well behind the top-ranking "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," which took an estimated $155 million in its first weekend.
The film features Smith playing an advertising man who writes letters to the concepts of Time, Love, and Death to seek solace and guidance after the death of his child.

Wonder why? A few weeks ago Will Smith said that Trump voters should be wiped off the face of the earth.
We remembered.

I wonder if it is because he insulted trump voter and this is the type of movie they would like to see.

A few weeks ago Will Smith said that Trump voters should be wiped off the face of the earth. We remembered. Rogue One did overwhelmingly great. Because we were fighting back from being wiped off the face of the earth. Will just chose the Dark side and the Force wasn't with him.

Disappointed, but not surprised about Smiths Trump bashing, typical celeb. I liked him in the Men in Black movies, especially MIB 3 where he goes back to 1969 in NYC. Brought back some fond childhood memories, particularly the scene at Shea Stadium, I still miss that place.

Can you imagine how Jazzy Jeff feel about Smith’s success. Gotta be driving him close to suicide.

Doesn’t sound like a Holiday movie, depressing concept.
Nobody is going to pay to be bummed out

The writers of Rogue One could have taken a crap in the car of Star Wars nerd and they’d have still driven to the theater and seen that film opening night.
In other words, I went!

Will Smith movies are typically innocent and pretty entertaining.
During the past decade I have kind of "zoned-out" on movies since I'm tired of leftwinger chatter.
By the time I think of the movie, it is already free-on-demand on my cable television.

I happened to see the trailer for "Collateral Beauty" before watching a very good movie "Sully".
The previews (allegedly the best scenes of the film) genuinely stank, almost painfully so; and I would actually pay money to NOT watch this movie.

Real smart Willy boy. Trump wins by a landslide and you decide it’s a great idea to insult his whole voting bloc. WTC Idiot!
