It seems M. Night Shyamalan just can’t catch a break nowadays at the box office — even with Will Smith on board.
The filmmaker’s first director-for-hire project, “After Earth,” which stars Smith and son Jaden, looks to earn between $35 million and $40 million in three days.

“After Earth” originally was scheduled to bow next weekend, but Sony bumped it up a week to take advantage of a vacancy in the calendar.
