This is weird.  Will Smith has a new movie scheduled to come out over the July fourth weekend, which is almost a tradition nowadays, where he plays a superhero who has some very human problems.  So where is all the promotion for Hancock?  All I’ve seen so far is a door banner at Best Buy and a trailer at the new Indiana Jones movie, that’s it.  This makes no sense to me, it’s Will Smith for frak sake, one of the biggest and most bankable box office stars working today.  So why no push with the film due out in less than a month?  It can’t be that the studio thinks the film isn’t good, Wild Wild West proved that even if its a stink bomb people will still go see a Will Smith movie.  So what’s the deal?
