Catching Up: The Unseen Success of Will Smith and Margot Robbie's 'Focus'

Remember "Focus"? The 2015 crime thriller starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie? It wasn't a massive hit back then, but fast forward to today, and it's suddenly a big deal on Netflix. The film, made on a $50 million budget, brought in $159 million globally. Seeing how adult dramas struggle now, this is impressive. This film marked a turning point for both actors. The next year, they both starred in "Suicide Squad, " a mega-hit despite bad reviews. Smith needed this; he had recent flops like "After Earth" and "Winter's Tale. " Robbie, fresh off her stunning debut in "The Wolf of Wall Street, " proved she could carry a film with a big star, just like she did with DiCaprio. Robbie's career skyrocketed after "Focus. " She had more hits like "I, Tonya, " "Peter Rabbit, " and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, " culminating in "Barbie, " which is one of the biggest movies ever. Smith also found his groove. They’re both hot commodities, and fans love seeing them together. Today, "Focus" feels more significant than it did back then. It's a reminder of why these two are superstars. Want to see it? It's now streaming on Netflix, or you can buy the Blu-ray from Amazon.
