“A long road to redemption”- Will Smith Acknowledges the Hardships He’ll Face to Win Back Hollywood After the Oscar Incident With Chris Rock

The Oscar slap is still echoing for Will Smith. He is undoubtedly one of the
most celebrated actors around the world. But the criticism that he has received
as a consequence of his actions, proves that no star is too big. Although his PR
team is in full swing, having him make appearances along with the formal apology
that he made to Chris Rock.



Smith’s much-anticipated movie, Emancipation, finally released after it
struggled to find a good date. But the Apple TV+ movie that cost $120 million to
make seems to have made a noise like an empty vessel with unimpressive content.
Facing his new reality is Will Smith, who understands this to be the aftermath
of his actions.


WILL SMITH VISIBLY UPSET OVER THE BOX OFFICE BOMBING OF EMANCIPATION

Before the release of Emancipation, the movie already started making rounds for
having the potential to enter the Oscars. However, the true verdict came out
only after its release. According to RadarOnline, [https://t.co/iKRAS1obvk] an
insider said, “Will knows it’s a long road to redemption and a lot of folks
won’t forgive him.” Although the tanking of this movie really hit home for the
entertainer. The big-budgeted movie made around $3k per screen on average in
every theater.

But what caused this to happen? Perhaps his Oscar slap or the fact that the
movie itself was not as amazing as expected to be.



Even movie critics were not overly impressed with how the characters were
dragged with misery throughout the movie. The picturization of Whipped Peter
failed to touch the audiences, despite it being an important part of history
that needed to be told. On the other hand, fans also fell short of turning up
for Smith’s first movie since the Oscars.

To add to it, Chris Rock has still not formally forgiven Smith for slapping him.
Meanwhile, some argue that movie makers should have waited a bit more to release
Emancipation. Currently, Smith’s Hollywood friends have distanced themselves
from him as well, including Tom Cruise who has been dodging the actor’s requests
to meet.

Do you think Will Smith

can move on from the drama eventually and continue with successful movies?
