Will Smith has lived up to the title of Hollywood's most bankable star as his latest movie tops the worldwide box office charts. Smith's latest venture, 'Hancock' sold an estimated $185 million worth of tickets, distributor Columbia Pictures have said.
The comedy drama scored around $107.3 million in six days since it opened on Tuesday in the US and Canada. It also made an additional $78 million in 50 other countries, including No.1 in Britain, Germany, Australia, Brazil and South Korea. 'Hancock' is Smith's eighth consecutive No.1 movie, and his 12th overall, with four of those scoring the top spot on the July 4th holiday week.
Rory Bruer, Columbia's president of domestic theatrical distribution revealed why he believes Smith is a box office draw. He said: "Audiences love Will Smith and the characters he plays. People want to share in the things he's doing."
