Hancock - Clips and UK box office
Story by Jack Foley
WILL Smith’s domination of the July box office continued across the globe when it was confirmed that his new superhero movie Hancock has topped the UK film charts.
The film took a whopping £9.59m between Friday and Sunday (July 4-6, 2008), comfortably beating critically-acclaimed animated movie Kung Fu Panda into second place ,(with £4.38m) and last week’s box office champ, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, into third.
The UK success comes in the wake of the film’s American box office triumph, where it easily landed Smith with his eighth consecutive US No.1 movie, taking a healthy $66 million despite bad reviews. States-side, the film has already passed the coveted $100 million mark.
In Hancock, Smith plays a dishevelled superhero who is forced to undergo an image change when his exploits (and the collateral damage he causes) turns him into a public enemy. With the help of an image consultant, Hancock turns his life around, but then falls foul of the PR guru’s wife (played by Oscar winner, Charlize Theron).
To celebrate the film’s global box office dominance, we thought we’d bring you a selection of clips of Hancock in action…
