Johnson's New Film Tanks: Worst Opening Ever?

Dwayne Johnson's recent film, 'The Smashing Machine,' has stumbled at the box office, opening to just $6 million domestically. This marks the weakest debut weekend of his career. The A24-produced, R-rated sports drama also presented Johnson in a rare dramatic turn as wrestler Mark Kerr, a role delving into substance abuse and personal struggles.

Despite a challenging box office start for 'The Smashing Machine,' which reportedly had a $50 million budget, the film garnered a 73% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. However, moviegoers offered a more reserved reception, evidenced by a B- CinemaScore, suggesting a disconnect between critical acclaim and audience appeal for this particular project.
