With 'Fast & Furious 6' No. 1 again, 'After Earth' crashes, burns - latimes.com: "In what may go down as the biggest box-office upset of the year, the man who has arguably been Hollywood's No. 1 star couldn't even manage a second-place finish.

"After Earth," the $135-million sci-fi flick costarring Will Smith and his son Jaden, had an apocalyptic debut of $27 million, according to an estimate from distributor Sony Pictures. (That figure includes grosses from Thursday evening, when the picture hit theaters at 9 p.m.)

That result left the film behind "Fast & Furious 6," which was No. 1 again with $34.5 million in ticket sales during its second weekend in theaters. The picture has now grossed a huge $170.4 million domestically."
