Will Smith's lowest opening weekend of all time....

This bland overrated bore of an actor has to be done right? His career as a leading man should be over. How can studios continue to give him big bucks?

I'm of a firm believe that his career went into the crapper the minute he tried to take on serious roles. He should have stuck with the funny guy (Fresh Prince) or action (Bad Boys, Men In Black). Can't do drama. Nobody cares for him in that. Just dumb career move.

Maybe revive your rap career Will.

He's made bad career choices without a doubt. For example; Wild World West, After Earth. and also trying to force his son to be cast in every single film he's in (surprised he didn't make them cast his son in this to).

That being said I don't think he's only good as a comedic actor. I loved him in the Pursuit of Happiness (should have won the Oscar) and Concussion (surprised he wasn't even nominated to be honest). He's also good in some action flicks.

I think he has an Oscar performance in him, he just needs to make smart choices.
