Benny Safdie doesn't make box-office-numbers kinds of movies.

Besides, Johnson's producing it. It's his money. He wanted Oscar bait and got Oscar bait.

I didn't even hear about this one

Think of the niche market that an MMA sports movie is appealing to

Saw it this weekend. The acting was good, but the movie in general was boring and anticlimactic. Definitely a snoozer.

What are these comments? This is a comm for people who like movies? It's a Safdie movie that by all accounts is at least decent, even if it flirts with "Oscar bait". Weird to almost revel in its box office failure.

Dwayne "The Scorpion King" Johnson complaining about the box office opening of his latest movie?

Havent seen it. But I've heard good things. Like its obvious Oscar bait, but one of the better performances by him.

Oooh that smashing machine, what did I watch

no, you're just not a good actor, and many other people had problems with you, cavil, vin disesal. plus you try to strongarm the DCU by trying to hijack it.

I know I saw an advertisement or two about this movie, I just couldn't tell you what it was about. Like it did no work at drawing me in and making me want to see the film. The only thing I remember about the ad was the rock looked like he had a weird shaped head in it. That's it that's all I got. I think he was a boxer and his head was weird that's it.

As someone who is a fan of pro wrestling it's kinda funny and a bit weird how quickly The Rock allowed his mask to slip.

for years and years he was seen as a nice guy, giving people homes and trucks and what have you, even in the wrestling biz he was considered a nice guy. then the failures started happening and his demeanor and personality started to change or maybe his true nature started coming to light.

Ends up he's not a good person. Ends up he's more like Hulk Hogan.

Two things that I just don’t give a shit about are The Rock and MMA. I may check this out when it gets to the streaming platforms, but that won’t. Be until football season is over.

You can't controll box office results and believe me, we tried.

Or, just realize that simply having a famous name like yours doesn't make people automatically want to shell out $30+ a person to watch whatever slop you've decided to star in.

"No one wants what I'm selling" ..Maybe stop making crap lol
