the rock likely does slop to cater to China, since they love western movies, dont really care if its bad. its not good for us/eu audiences. Adding on the rock to whatever movie or show guarantees it will suffer in the box office or ratings. they are better of using john cena and bautista.
Older list but, I feel hasn't changed much. (God I hope it hasn't.) He doea fine in China, but you could make the same statement about the US.
His entire career has been one character.
He did the Hogan route. Just waiting for the day when we hear his crazy rant about "the Jews".
Implying they had actually given any thought to them to begin with...
Is this Hollywood accounting figures or an actual loss?
Does it matter? Its mostly fake.
CGI’d the nipples right off that man
Haha I didn't notice. Hilarious
I think it's a body suit, which would make it even funnier. Or maybe demigods just don't have nipples.
Demigods have nipples, Greg. Can you milk them?
The hair is so ridiculous, it made me burst out laughing.
I'm never going to see this movie.
Good.
Nah man, just one more, this time it will work for sure!
Fad-people are fickle beings. They will move on to the next fad-dom to enthusiastically throw money at. The "Disney Adult"-fad has been on the decline for a while now and will hopefully take the bloated corpse of Disney with it.
Disney makes a ton of money internationally and on home video/streaming. They'll be fine.
One movie not making its budget back is compensated for by all the movies that made many times their budget.
Literally no one cares. These live action remakes are pointless.
Yeah, but it's got The Rock in it, so it's sure to be an eventual box office smash.
I didn't even know The Rock is Polynesian!
It's hard to tell if you're being a smartass or not, but he really is of Polynesian descent.
Aren't these movies just some kind of copyright manipulation?
I'm sorry, but as good an actor as the Rock is, I think he should have a stipulation in his contract that he not be forced to wear wigs or hairpieces.
The Rock is bald. This is vital. It's like cutting Samson's hair, his baldness is the source of his strength.
Polynesian mythology places strong emphasis on hair. Hair is the source of mana, evidence of warrior prowess, directly symbolizing strength and connection to ancestors.
You can't really have a Polynesian demigod portrayed as a bald guy, it would be like having a beardless twink in jeans and wife beater play Santa.
Fair point.
