Dwayne Johnson's Sports Drama Inches Closer to $20M Worldwide

Summary

  • 'The Smashing Machine' collects just $4.3k on Day 28 in North America

  • Dwayne Johnson praised for dramatic performance, but film struggling to recover $50M budget
Dwayne Johnson's Sports Drama Inches Closer to $20M Worldwide

As of November 2, 2025, Dwayne Johnson's latest sports drama 'The Smashing Machine' is struggling to find success at the box office. The film, which premiered at the 92nd Venice International Film Festival earlier this year and won the Silver Lion, has collected just $4.3k on Day 28 in the North American market.

Despite the positive reviews and praise for Johnson's dramatic performance, the movie's financial prospects are not looking up. With a worldwide box office collection of $19.75 million, the film is inching closer to the $20 million milestone but is still less than $1 million away from outgrossing the Jeremy Allen White-starrer 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere', which was released before 'The Smashing Machine'.

The biographical sports drama, written and directed by Benny Safdie, reportedly has a budget of $50 million, and it will not even recover the production cost. The Smashing Machine is still more than $30 million away from recovering its budget, and the makers are now hoping the film will win big this award season to make up for its underwhelming box office performance.
