Hancock Takes Weekend Box Office

Posted on July 9, 2008

Hancock - starring Will Smith as a reluctant and hard-living superhero - was a box office smash over the weekend grossing $62 million. What may make the film more watchable is Jason Bateman as Hancock's PR man. Here's a review of the film from Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune who calls it a "mediocre film" and questions how it got by without an R-rating. It may be mediocre but Will Smith still won the box office anyway - this obviously says more about Smith's stellar star power than it does about Hancock.
