The Smashing machine recorded the unwanted box office record for the rock

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the most successful wrestlers who have turned into orders in history. Through some measures, it is the most successful, as his films achieved more than $ 15 billion at the global box office. But its stellar strength has its limits, as it is clear from the very disappointing opening of the most recent, “The Smashing Machine”. It is now ranked the worst opening ever for a movie where Johnson had a pioneering role.

It was directed by Benny Safdie and issued by A24, “The Smashing Machine” was opened to $ 6 million locally at the end of last week. This was much lower than the pre -version expectations, which made it up to $ 10 million on the low side. Needless to say, it was much less than that sign. The mud is worse, the film holds a budget of $ 50 million, which does not represent marketing expenses. This exceeds the lowest level of the actor, which was determined by “fastest” ($ 8.5 million in opening/35 million dollars worldwide).

Work was against A24, Johnson, and Safdie is bad. Taylor Swift decreased “The official release ceremony for the show girl” during the weekend, which achieved $ 33 millionEasily top the charts. When the studio took this date in the release evaluation, Swift was not found. In any case, one may think that these two versions can coexist as anti -anti -aids. So now how things are shaken.

Johnson was in films that were on the opening weekends lower, such as “JEM and Holograms” ($ 1.3 million in opening), but that was just a veil earlier in his career. This, on the other hand, was a biography of the season for loud awards about the legend of MMA Mark Kerr. Johnson got delirium reviews of his work in “Smashing Machine”, “ With the legitimacy of the Oscars surrounding it. It is striking that its stellar strength cannot bear this movie more.

This box office result is very surprising for a man who was once known as “Viagra Franchise” because of his ability to transfer tents to the next level. “Fast Five” has become a global strike of $ 626 million In any small part thanks to the addition of Johnson like Hobbes. The actor similarly helped charging the “Jumanji” concession. Nihad “Moana 2” became one billion dollars only last year.

However, Johnson’s star’s strength extends only until now when we are not talking about great films for the audience. Taking people into movies to watch a drama made for adults or anything original is very difficult. Johnson admitted to chasing the box office in his career before thisAnd with “The Smashing Machine”, he was seeking to challenge himself as an actor in new ways.

Shame from him, on paper, it really seemed that Johnson was a big star enough to help raise something like this in favor of pain. This is not at all how he came out. However, Johnson takes everything in a step. Take to InstagramThe actor expressed his gratitude to those who watched the movie, with admitting that he did not fulfill the expectations:

“From the depths of my grateful bones, thanks to everyone who watched a” destroying machine “. In the world of stories, you cannot control the results of the box office – but what you realized that you can control it is your performance, your commitment to completely disappearing and going to another place.

Johnson added: “I had the honor to shift in this role to my manager Saffi. Thank you, my brother, for your faith in me. The truth is that this film has changed my life.”

The “destruction machine” is now in theaters.
