So this opens against a horror movie and a threequel kids movie?  The Rock is going to be coming off of the success of Jumanji and presumably the success of Rampage.  

 

As @grim22 was mentioning today on what's app, this is almost a can't miss sure fire hit.  It has a kind of Die Hard vibe to it.  Should be a thrilling summer action film, the kind of film I live for, especially in the summer.

Not me. I fully expect this to slay. 200M or more. Book it!

For awhile it's seemed like July would be kind of weak coming off of all the mega releases of May/June, but upon closer inspection it seems like it has the potential to be surprisingly big. AM2 should be aiming for 200-250, Mission 6 should hit 175-225, and Mamma Mia, The Nun, and this all have the potential to be 150+ breakouts. HT3 should easily clear 100 as well. Could be an exceptionally spread the wealth month.

Has The Rock ever turned down a project?

I'm honestly super curious as to which 2018 Rock movie will gross higher

Rampage: $45-$55 million OW/ $135 million domestic 

Skyscraper: $42 million OW/ $130 million domestic

I think it's gonna be like The Towering Inferno. DJ rescuing people from a burning collapsing building. Add to that bad guys inside the building trying to rob a vault or something and he has to fight them too. Just a guess.

No hype for me. LOVE THE IDEA. But the director. mehhhh, guy did one half assed comedy film that looked like a TV movie and they give him this? 

 

Robert Elswit is shooting this though so who knows. But I expect very stock tv framing/editing in conversations.

I mean, here's how he got the project:

 

Dodgeball - 114m / 167m WW

We're the Millers - 150m / 269m WW

Central Intelligence - 127m / 216m WW

 

Plus, good relationship with The Rock. They're not hiring these guys based on cinematic visual aesthetic.
