The film premiered at approximately 3,000 locations on its opening day, according to a news agency. Heavy on the VFX, 'Gemini Man'&nbsp;follows Henry Brogan (Smith), an elite assassin who becomes the target of a mysterious operative who can seemingly predict his every move. 
 
Much to his horror, Brogan soon gets to know about the mystery man trying to kill him who is none other than his 25-year younger clone. 
 
Directed by Ang Lee, the action-thriller is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Prior to it, Smith starred in Disney's live-action film 'Aladdin'&nbsp;which became his first biggest hit to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aladdin-continues-to-reign-at-box-office-surpasses-800m-mark-worldwide-233726">surpass $1 billion</a>.

Will Smith's 'Gemini Man' opens with a moderate $1.6 million

Will Smith was initially worried about playing the genie in Disney's live-action version of 'Aladdin'&nbsp;after the celebrated performance by the late Robin Williams more than 25 years ago but says it eventually became a joy. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/aladdin-trailer-first-look-of-will-smith-as-genie-finally-revealed-196674">Watch trailer here.&nbsp;</a>

"What Robin Williams did with this character - he just didn't leave a lot of room to add to the genie. So I started off fearful but then when I got with the music, it just started waking up that fun, childlike, silly part of me," Smith said.

"This was the most joyful experience of my career," the actor, 50, said ahead of the film's release worldwide this week.

'Aladdin,'&nbsp;directed by Guy Ritchie, marks Smith's first time doing a Walt Disney Co film. The remake features many of the elements of the 1992 animated original, for which Williams won a Golden Globe for his voice work.

"I like the original movie so I'm aware I don't want to contaminate the nostalgia of the first one," said Ritchie. "What you want to do is embellish."

"My principal job was to entertain my five kids and my Disneyphile of a wife," said Ritchie, who is better known for action adventure movies like 'Sherlock Holmes'&nbsp;and adult crime caper 'RocknRolla.'

Naomi Scott who appeared in 'The 33'&nbsp;and 'Power Rangers'&nbsp;plays Princess Jasmine. Mena Massoud, who appeared in last year's 'Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan'&nbsp;series, plays the title role in the movie.

'Aladdin'&nbsp;is the latest Disney remake of its animated family film classics. It follows a live action version of flying elephant tale 'Dumbo'&nbsp;in March, the upcoming July reboot of 'The Lion King,'&nbsp;and 'Mulan'&nbsp;due for release in 2020.

Will Smith goes from fear to joy as Aladdin's new genie

We have all seen and grown up watching Disney’s most famous animated film ‘Aladdin’ that has a wish-granting genie, a commoner in love with a princess, a tiger and monkey that can do stuff and an evil person who is obviously against the alliance between the couple mentioned before.&nbsp;

Fanning that nostalgia, Disney has now released a full-length trailer of its upcoming film ‘Aladdin’ that is the first live-action remake of the animated series/film by the same name and in this, we have Will Smith playing the blue genie. While they did release a first look teaser-trailer, this one shows all characters and establishes the reworked plot.&nbsp;

The new Aladdin trailer opens with Aladdin (Mena Massoud) evading a pursuit through the streets of Agrabah, the fictional Middle Eastern setting for the film before there's a meet-cute of sorts with Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott). We are then introduced to Jafar (Marwan Kenzari), the chief advisor to Agrabah's ruler — The Sultan (Navid Negabhan) — who claims that he can make Aladdin “rich, rich enough to impress a princess”. The task is simple -- bring Jafar a lamp from the Cave of Wonders.
