It'll probably make its money back, Will Smith is still a big star worldwide and that will help, but the script of the movie is so hilariously bad, the people shitting on Ghostbusters and pinning their hopes on this as being some shining example of summer movies played themselves. This script is probably worse overall and you can tell they completely chopped the film apart in the editing room. The Joker is pointless in the film as are 2-3 other main characters too.

Dude, when was the last time Will Smith had a big hit? I'd day Margot Robbie is a bigger star these days.

Not on a global stage, no way. People still know Will Smith in Europe and Asia, no one knows who the fuck Margot Robbie is outside being DiCaprio's wife in Wolf of Wall Street. 

MIB3 (which earned 71% of its box office internationally) and even 2015's Focus (66% internationally) indicate Smith still is a known commodity worldwide, the large international takes of box of those films allowed those films to turn a nice profit.
