Rundown made 80 million on a 85 million budget it was most certainly a bomb.Rundown wasn’t a blob neither was scorpion king. All the other stuff I’ll give you. But he wouldn’t pull these moves if there wasn’t an understanding with the other producers not named vin and with universal that he has the leeway to do it. And the reason he has the leeway is because they see him as bigger than the franchise. Doesn’t mean your points aren’t valid but ultimately it doesn’t matter what you and I think because we don’t sign the checks. The check writer’s opinion is the only one that matters and they’re saying he’s the “franchise viagra” he says he is. Like I said before that doesn’t mean it’s fair but it’s business
Scorpion king was a success,but it was also a spin off of an already established successful franchise. There's a theme running through rocks film career.
