It seems that even downplaying M. Night Shyamalan’s part in After Earth had no effect on its box office. It bombed anyway. The father/son combo sci-fi piece starring Will and Jaden Smith could only manage a third place finish behind last week’s champ Fast & Furious 6 and the magicians of Now You See Me. After Earth’s weekend total is the worst opening for a Will Smith summer movie in twenty years.

2. Now You See Me- $28.0/ $28.0
