The Margot Robbie & Will Smith Movie Getting A Second Life On Netflix
By RYAN SCOTT
Will Smith and Margot Robbie are two of the biggest movie stars in the world, and they both starred in a number one hit on Netflix. However, the movie was made nearly a decade ago.
2015's "Focus" recently made its way to Netflix and instantly shot to the top of the most-watched movie charts. As of this writing, the film is firmly in the number one spot.
"Focus" centers on Nicky (Smith), a seasoned grifter in a romance with a novice con artist, Jess (Robbie). Three years after their breakup, she shows up in the middle of a scheme.
The film was seen as a modest success, pulling in $159 million against a $50 million budget. However, as most dramedys are made for streaming today, it seems more impressive.
This film was only Robbie’s third major film role, and given her success in the years since "Focus" first came out, it feels much more significant than it did at the time.
