Will Smith is definitely an American favorite and go-to for directors when they want a guaranteed hit. But did you know he’s a box-office record breaker? According to predictions, his new movie, Hancock (in theaters July 2nd) is looking to make around $140-150 million opening weekend—this would be Will’s 8th consecutive film to rack in $100 million at the box office. Know how many other actors can claim they’ve done that? Zero.

Do you consider Will Smith a box office draw? [Perez]

    What's not to like about Will? He gets along with other actors, directors/producers, is a family man, and supports charitable causes. Okay, lately it seems he is pimping his young son into the business, riding on Will's name, but there's no doubt he loves him dearly.

    I definetly think he is a box office draw. he is a great actor. in every role he plays it feels sincere and its not like your watching a comedian try to play a serious role. I'm definetly going to see hancock as soon as it comes out
