Dwayne Johnson Reacts to ‘Smashing Machine’s Box Office Bomb: You Can’t Control Box Office Results”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to social media to react to the underwhelming debut for The Smashing Machine. At Venice Film Festival last month, the film received a 15-minute standing ovation that moved Johnson to tears. While early reviews were quite mixed, critics were in agreeance that it’s Johnson’s best performance ever. The $6 million in sales is under the projected $8 million to $15 million — a career low for Johnson.

Following the box office success of The Iron Claw, A24 spent $50 million to produce The Smashing Machine, not including marketing figures. It’s now projected to end its theatrical run with just $15 million in domestic sales.
