“Focus,” the crime drama starring Will Smith, opened to $6.5 million on Friday in the U.S. and should gross about $20 million this weekend.
Will Smith may no longer be one of the Hollywood’s biggest stars, the Warner film is not a failure, when compared to the disaster that the sci-fi tentpole “After Earth” wrought for Sony. “Focus” also carries a much smaller, $50 million pricetag, about one third the size of “After Earth’s” budget.
Margot Robbie, who made her debut in Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Wolf of Wall Street,” co-stars as a young con artist in the romantic caper directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Smith plays a veteran conman who takes Robbie under his wing, only to regret the decision later.
