Another record-breaking 4th of July sensation for Will Smith.

In spite of fears that the recent controversy about Smith so-called "Scientology school" would hamper the release of his latest movie, and in spite of poor reviews, "Hancock" is another record-breaking 4th of July sensation for Will Smith. It made $107.3 million since its July 2 opening, and $66 million over the weekend. Thanks to the impressive gross, Smith kept up his currently unrivaled streak at the box office. "Hancock" is his eighth-consecutive #1 opener and also his eighth to earn at least $100 million. And if that's not impressive enough, "Hancock" marks the fifth huge July 4 weekend opening for a Smith-starrer. This one, however, was his highest opening gross ever for the weekend.
