, an ambitious, original but poorly reviewed sci-fi flick, opened with just $20.5 million in domestic box office this weekend. It hasn’t performed much better overseas, where it has earned $59 million worldwide after opening in around 85% of its eventual foreign markets. Yes, China is set to go on Monday, but the $30 million that Ang Lee’s isn’t going to cut it here. Moreover, Hollywood productions, even co-productions like , have struggled in China this year outside of the superhero genre .
wasn’t a very good movie and had little to offer beyond technology and “Will Smith versus Will Smith.”Will Smith is now a “regular” movie star.

Cast him as Deadshot in, and he’s worth his weight in gold.
