It's not just Will Smith but other A listers have fell off to. Hollywood no longer needs super stars to sell movies.
Why did Will Smith fall off?

He never fell off....he got filthy rich and stepped away from his early formula to pursue more serious roles.

After Earth (2013) - flop
Winter's Tale (2014) - flop
Focus (2015) - flop
Concussion (2015) - flop
Suicide Squad (2016) - not flop
Collateral Beauty (2016) - flop
Bright (2017) - not flop(good in terms of streams)
WILL SMITH WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SEEN DEAD ON NETFLIXIF HE DIDNT FALL OFF.
BEFORE YOU MENTION OTHER PPL WHO DID NETFLIX MOVIES,
THEY FELL OFF TOO.

He hasn't felled off per say
But IMO he kind of forgot to mix in his bread and butter scientific/action pack films in between these other films

Nikka, ur high.
Outside of Dicaprio, Hanks, Washington and Depp(And that's debatable) there's no one out there who a studio might orgasm over more to headline a movie. Not the Rock, Hart, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, etc.
No one.
He didn't fall off, he decided to try n position his kids to pop next.
General audiences don't like nepotism, especially black weirdo nepotism.
But best believe, Will himself is loved like few others worldwide.
I'd put money down that he could walk into Sony offices today, with an idea for Hancock 2 and it'd be out by 2020.
Or anything.
If he made a romantic comedy with lets say Nia Long, i'd wager it'd be the highest grossing romcom of the past 4 years.
The only one he ever did is the third highest grossing romcom ever already.
He hasn't fallen off. He took a step back.

Will Smith has already proven to be one of the biggest box office draws in Hollywood, it's just now at this point in his career, he's just working on the projects he feels like as opposed to the largest paycheck.

Will Smith makes millions from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" syndication. He's also one of the highest paid actors... still. Netflix paid $90 million for "Bright".
I think he's just selective and does what he wants now. He doesn't have to take roles. He turned down Neo in the Matrix and "Django Unchained".
