This is the first time in my career that I\u2019ve not thought about box office once. And I like that. I appreciate it,\u201d The Rock said. \u201cWith the other films, the big ones, the four-quadrant movies, it\u2019s pressurised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSure, I love making the Jumanjis and Moanas. But there\u2019s 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 \u2026 What a difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s a scary time because so much effort and money goes into the opening weekend here in the States. Then it\u2019s: \u2018How will it hold up? What will it do internationally? Maybe we should change that scene because it\u2019d play better in Asia \u2026\u2019 I make all these big movies, and some have been really good and some not so good at all.
