Collateral Beauty has already had a bit of a hammering from film critics and fans, and things have just got worse.

According to Deadline, the film has now given star Will Smith the worst wide debut in his entire career. Ouch.

Despite featuring Smith and a host of other big names, including Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley and Kate Winslet, the movie opened to just $7 million in ticket sales this weekend.

That puts it at fourth place in the US box office, well behind the top ranking Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which took an estimated $155 million in its first weekend.

The film features Will Smith playing an advertising man, who writes letters to the concepts of Time, Love and Death to seek solace and guidance after the death of his child.

It was also beaten by Moana, Disney's latest animation, and comedy Office Christmas Party.

Collateral Beauty's underperformance is another Christmas disappointment for Will Smith after Concussion, his drama about American football players who suffer brain damage, had a similarly low opening taking of $10.5 million last year.

However, Will can take heart from the fact that 2016 also saw him appear in the top-grossing movie in his filmography.

Suicide Squad, in which he played Deadshot, made just over $325 million this summer, despite disappointing critical reviews.

Will Smith recently revealed that he turned down the opportunity to reprise his Independence Day role in the recent sequel, Resurgence, so that he could be in Suicide Squad instead.

"I had the two screenplays in front of me for Independence Day 2 and for Suicide Squad. I had to choose between the two of those," he said.

"I do want to aggressively go forward and do new things and create and hopefully be able to stumble upon a new heyday."

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Collateral Beauty will be doing that for him...
