In America, you got to be closing in at over $100 milli unless those Blu Ray/DVD sales top charts to get some of that home market revenue and you can gloss that in.

The person advising The Rock did a terrible job of advising him to do Fast Five. Boy, was that a horrendous career move.

But considerin that most of these studio popcorn films budgets start at $75m and upwards surely hittin $100m at the Box office isnt that much of achievement.

When was the last time Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise had a hit? No one can tell you..

You serious ? Cruise had mi:3, and jack reacher :whoo: brad Pitt had moneyball and inglorious b*stards . The women compArison (Julia Roberts ) holds no weight because women fall off quicker than men it's a fact of Hollywood . Not to mention they've had more hits than the rocks ever had :comeon: you seriously need to stop it those guys you listed can still get movies made by attaching themselves not the rock . He's Jason statham level without the acting credentials

They got more hits because they've been around since you were a little boy learning how to write.

What do you count as a hit money wise, making the budget back x 2? (lowest ball park figure)

He's trolling . @R=G is a smart guy he knows better than this . It was a sports drama and Oscar movie :rudy: and made over 100 mil worldwide . It was for all intents and purposes a brad Pitt movie

Moneyball didn't win no damn Oscar though....there's a certain group that will always get top consideration....George Clooney being nominated shot alot of credibility out the window. Dude won the Golden Globe for something a year or two ago and was talking about some guy's dikk in the acceptance speech. Get real.

I'll ignore your trolling . They even have more recent hits too :mjpls: there's nothing wrong with a Jason statham type Career :manny: but that's all rock has. Way more than stone cold and John cena can say

Well they used worldwide gross.The 1st 3 films, gross was doubled the budget and the last 2 made 4-5 times what the budget was.

I was wondering because I know Moneyballs gross was doubled its budget.

John Carter being budgeted at $250m and only makes $32m extra ontop of makin its budget back is :laff: surely that cannot be considered a hit. Considering that Waterworld made more money back ($175m budget, gross $264m) and is regarded as a flop

Rock's last major movie made hundreds of millions....he's way above the margin you see him as. 86 million first week..Jason Statham is never gonna see that unless he does a Marvel flick or some shyt.

LOL@comparing DVD actors to the Rock:laugh: TSC gimmick posting. Nothing like it.

He still needs that iconic role that was written for him and lets him shine like he really can. As an action star i don't think he got as big as he could have but he still has had a damn good career. And is a millionaire several times over.

I agree with you lol I though the argument was he is a-list :russ: I'm used to arguing with certain other posters who think he's the greatest .
After the get shorty sequel I thought he had a chance to do more dramatic roles he got alot of buzz for playing that character . he'd have to have slim down though I agree his build stands out too much , he would also have had to turn back on wrestling completely and risk failing horribly . He did southland tales but that movie sucked
:yeshrug: I can't knock him for going this route he had the best of both worlds and is rich lol . But he has way more potential than say stone cold or John cena who have no range or can't show their nontough exterior on film .
I wonder if they could give John cena a part in the fast 7 get him away for awhile lol

With Snitch and (maybe) Empire State, Dwayne is moving back into more dramatic roles.

Got to hand it to Dwayne for having a pretty decent movie career with little formal acting training.

Got four more movies in pre-production, maybe he could hook Cena up with a few cameos

Him and Vin Diesel were the only ones it was promoted through....and what EVERYONE talks about. Look it up on any review site..I can only judge by consumer reaction and who is the big deal in the sequels and low and behold....Rock and Gina are right there to flip it up even more. No one had seen Vin Diesel in years before Fast Five.
