Will Smith’s “Gemini Man” didn’t draw much buzz last night in previews.

The Paramount film with weird visuals took in just $1.6 million. They’re now aiming for a third place, $19 million opening over four days.

“Gemini Man” doesn’t have much help from critics, who gave it a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Smith’s sci-fi adventure should finish third behind “Joker,” again at number 1, and “The Addams Family” animated film (also panned with a 36%).

But even though $19 million isn’t great, it’s better than some of Smith’s other recent films like “Collateral Beauty” with $7 million opening, “Concussion” with $10 million, and “Focus” with $18.6 million No one remembers those films and they were less than five years ago.
