There is a lot of awards buzz surrounding The Rock‘s upcoming movie, The Smashing Machine. However, the WWE Superstar isn’t thinking about what the film will do at the box office.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently sat down with The Guardian to discuss the upcoming release of The Smashing Machine. While discussing the potential box office of this movie, The Rock revealed why he hasn’t thought about that once.
“You know, I’ll share this with you. This is the first time in my career that I’ve not thought about box office once. And I like that. I appreciate it,” The Rock said. “With the other films, the big ones, the four-quadrant movies, it’s pressurised.
“Sure, I love making the Jumanjis and Moanas. But there’s something so freeing about this process. We want this movie to open well and hope a lot of people like it. But for that not to be the thing … What a difference.
“It’s a scary time because so much effort and money goes into the opening weekend here in the States. Then it’s: ‘How will it hold up? What will it do internationally? Maybe we should change that scene because it’d play better in Asia …’ I make all these big movies, and some have been really good and some not so good at all. But this was one for us.”
The Smashing Machine opens in theaters on October 3.
