The third movie in the franchise pulled in good audience numbers when it dropped in 2020 just before the Covid pandemic hit, grossing over $426 million and inadvertently becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year thanks to the cinematic landscape being wiped out for most of the year.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nWill Smith\u2019s next appearance is on Netflix, as he is a guest on David Letterman\u2019s <em>My Next Guest Needs No Introduction <\/em>show. However, the episode was filmed before the now-infamous Oscars incident, so this will be more about Smith prior to the slap and will therefore not touch on the subject at all. As a starting point though, the show will provide a stepping stone for Smith to pick up the pieces of the aftermath of this year\u2019s Oscars and get his career moving forward again. With Sony clearly having no issues about continuing to work with the star, it is likely we will see more Will Smith projects getting back on track in the near future.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-Poison-Rose.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-Poison-Rose.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"The Poison Rose\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            John Travolta Action Movie American Metal Acquired by Saban Films\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio-expand\" id=\"w-article-author-bio-expand\">\n        About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio \">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61982f36234db-IMG_4718.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>        <strong class=\"bio-title\">Anthony Lund<br \/>\n                            <span class=\"amount\">(2235 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n            Anthony Lund is an author, songwriter and puppeteer from a small village in the U.K. with an avid love of all genres of TV and film.
