Speaker 2 (00:03):
Dwayne Johnson pretty accustomed to box office big time success.
With his films combined, he's earned more than ten billion dollars. Wow,
they have the movie.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
That places him among the top thirty earners ever, and
most of the stars in front of him have huge
Marvel movies on their resume.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
What he's less familiar with is a smaller opening, and
unfortunately his new film, The Smashing Machine, it didn't open huge.
Of course, Taylor Soft was also in the theaters at
the right time.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
But I love how he handled the moment, still celebrating
what it did accomplish.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
He posted on social I saw it just thanking everybody
saying you can't control box office results. But what I
realized you can't control is your performance and your commitment
to completely disappear into a role. So he's still very
proud of what he did in the Worker everybody on
that team. The Smashing Machine is in theaters.
