Jaden Smith signs autographs at Karate Kid premiere

Jaden Smith, The Karate Kid Kicks The A-Team Where it Hurts

The Karate Kid put a roundhouse on The A-Team this weekend, taking in $56 million over three days. Will Smith only has two movies with bigger first weekend numbers: Hancock and I Am Legend. Jackie Chan played a part in attracting movie goers; Taraji P. Henson was a bonus for some; but let’s just call Jaden Smith the start of a new generation of Hollywood superstars.

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jaden, Willow, Trey and Jackie Chan at Karate Kid premiere

The Karate Kid was produced by Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, which got a smirk by some in Hollywood who thought the Smiths were doing it just so Jaden could play the starring role. Correct, but it was the right move. The Karate Kid’s production cost was $40 million and they got it back with change; doubling Sony’s expectations. In contrast, The A-Team cost $110 million and barely covered with $26 million over the weekend (it’s only downhill after that.) Even more perspective, Get Him to the Greek, with Diddy, Jonah Hill, and Russell Brand, cost $40 million and in its second week is only at $36 million.

Jaden and Willow Smith get their Hollywood on at the Karate Kid premiere

With this kind of success, there’s no doubt there will be a Karate Kid sequel. I’m thinking little Willow Smith joins her brother for a kid friendly version of Kick Ass.

In case you missed it, here is Jaden Smith, last Thursday on Late Night with David Letterman.

The Smiths, such a beautiful family. I hope Jaden stays humble with all his success and doesnt let it go to his head.

u didnt earn it and daddy got the gig for u
i will like something that u have earned not something that was given to u

6 bill Fri, Jun 25, 2010 - 4:27 pm

i came up in a orphanage and had to earn everything myself you weathy and famous people
think ur better than every body its and u think ur above the law it is time we take u people out
it will be a better world when all people think
they are no better than anyone else and we all
live under the same laws and we all earn what we get this boy hasnt lived long enough to earn his role what about kids who arev in acting classes
he got his shot because of daddy thats wrong time to stop the rich who think they are entitled
to things and start a better country

Bill Chapman and “Bill, what are you talking about? Anyone who saw Karate Kid with Jaden Smith knows he worked HARD.  Jaden is an amazing actor, athlete, and dancer - for ANY age. I would rather see child stars in movies produced by their parents with the parents nearby than see child stars put in situations without family members and getting abused. Ask Thandie Newton - or nearly any of the young female stars of Zefferelli movies. Jaden Smith EARNED his success. He learned his lines and acted well in The Pursuit of Happyness, and he clearly worked like all get out in The Karate Kid. Anyone complaining here can’t POSSIBLY have seen the movie. If you had, you know just how MUCH Jaden deserves all the accolades!

21 Jbreez Thu, Aug 12, 2010 - 1:25 pm

Let haters be a motivation…. I do.WHatever happens to you people who say you were an orphan and jaden didn’t work hard.He obviously did.And is it his fault that you weren’t born into a family of actors .NNNNNNOOOOOooooooo! neither was I but I have just begone to write music and I guaranty u will c me soon not because I’m rich or because my parents pay for acting and dance classes.Not because all of my brothers are muscisians.But because I work hard.I love what I do.And if you spent more time pursuing your dream rather then hating on a little kid who bacame a big star maybe you will c him at the grammys but don’t ask for an autograph.<haters not allowed> LOL!
