Smurfs review
Smurfs has failed to impress critics. The comedy drama holds an underwhelming score of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, based on 70 reviews.
'Antic and zany without being particularly fun, this incarnation of Smurfs just isn't the smurfest tool in the shed,' reads the critics' consensus.
This has affected its commercial performance.
Smurfs box office performance
Shot on a budget of $ 58 million, Smurfs had the potential to emerge as a money spinner. This, however, has not happened. It has made $2.9 million so far and failed to click with the audience. It faces competition from last week's release Superman globally. In India, Saiyaara (released this Friday) has emerged as the top choice of the audience.

James Gunn On Replacing Henry Cavill In Superman: "It Was Really Unfair..."
Washington DC: Following the success of 'Superman', director James Gunn opened up on how he convinced Henry Cavill to sit out from the 'Superman' film franchise ahead of casting David Cornswet in the latest DC Studios' superhero project. During a recent appearance on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, as quoted by Variety, the "Superman" director explained that as his deal to take over DC Studios was finalised, it was announced that Cavill would reprise his role as the Man of Steel. However, according to Gunn, it was already decided that he would helm a new 'Superman' film with a new actor, which created an "unfair" situation for Cavill. "The day our [DC] deal closed, all of a sudden, they were announcing that Henry was back. And I'm like, 'What is going on?' We know what the plan is. The plan was to come in and do 'Superman.' So it was really unfair to him and a total bummer," said Gunn as quoted by Variety. Gunn added that the miscommunication was due to a sector of the studio trying to "force" their own vision of DC, which was "never part of the equation." To solve the misunderstanding, the director decided to disclose the truth to Henry Cavill by talking to him. "So, that was really unfortunate. Peter and I [thought] the right thing to do was to sit down with [Cavill] and talk to him. And we sat down and we talked to him. He was an absolute gentleman, a great guy about it. He said, 'The only thing I ask is that I'm able to reveal it myself as opposed to it coming from you guys,'" said James Gunn as quoted by Variety. Gunn also hinted at the possibility of casting Henry Cavill in future DCU movies. While Cavill starred as the Man of Steel across three DC films from 2013 to 2017, David Corenswet took over the role for Gunn's DCU debut feature 'Superman,' which released July 11. Other cast members for that film include Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen), Anthony Carrigan (Metamorpho), Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific), Nathan Fillion (Guy Gardner) and Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl). The film has garnered positive reviews from critics and viewers alike.
