After Earth is going to be the infamous bomb of the summer. Its Scientology-based theology and general hokeyness is drawing comparisons to Battlefield Earth, and it's another stinker for M. Night Shyamalan, who should probably try to direct something low-budget and written by the guys behind Insidious or Sinister.
Now You See Me improved in tracking as it got closer, but just last week it was expected to get $22 million compared to $37 million for After Earth. Now it looks like it'll actually beat it. It will probably wind up with $27-28 million, and AE more of a $25-26 million range.
