Will Smith’s Gemini Man bombs at the box office

October 15, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Coming off the biggest hit of his career in Disney’s Aladdin, Will Smith may now be about to suffer one of his biggest bombs, with the Ang Lee-directed sci-fi action thriller Gemini Man opening to just $59.5 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

The $138 million-budgeted film, which sees Smith playing an assassin who finds himself targeted by his younger clone, suffered a torrid time with critics and only managed a $20.5 million opening in the US to place third behind Joker ($55 million) and The Addams Family ($30.3 million). It added a further $39 million from international markets.

According to Deadline, Gemini Man needs to pull in around $275 million worldwide to break even, with the site suggesting that Paramount and its financing partners Skydance, Alibaba and Fosun are looking at an estimated loss of around $60 million at this point in time.

Gemini Man is an innovative action-thriller starring Will Smith as Henry Brogan, an elite assassin, who is suddenly targeted and pursued by a mysterious young operative that seemingly can predict his every move.

Gemini Man stars Will Smith, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, Benedict Wong, Douglas Hodge, Linda Emond and Theodora Miranne.
