RottenTomatoes Score: 57% (5.9/10 average, at the time of press) Box Office: Focus is expected to take the top spot at this weekend's box office, scoring between $20-22 million, which would prove a strong start for a movie budgeted at a modest $50 million, given the star power involved. Critics are touting Focus as something of a comeback for Will Smith, who hasn't starred in much of worth since 2012's Men in Black 3, and had to endure the indignity of co-starring with his son Jaden in M. Night Shyamalan's disasterpiece After Earth. Though it's not exactly going to stick in the mind long after viewing, the movie is a welcome change of pace for Smith, whose incredible chemistry with femme fatale Margot Robbie is to thank for much of why the movie works. It's loaded with twists which will either exhilarate or exhaust viewers based on their own personal tastes, but it's hard not to go easy on the movie when it really feels like Smith is actually stretching himself a little for the first time in a while.
