I get giving him 20 but 50 seems like a lot given the returns on investments are looking shakier and shakier nowadays. The Rock really has no classics and no franchises. Nothing I can sit back and constantly revisit like a Rocky, Rambo, Predator or Total Recall.

Because he know how to bring money to the companies at the box office , even if a few of them kind of bomb at the box office

At least it brought in something to offset other films that really bomb
Brehmoan's shooting percentage is bad outside of the Fast Franchise.

Moana 2 could have been voiced by Rikishi and still make bank

Any Samoan would do. I could see Jason Mamoa being great in 3 and fun during the press run. :mjlol:

That's a common misconception that he's been getting away with until recently. His movies flop unless they're ensemble casts. He's never been that guy.

His films make money and there is nothing risky about his work to the status quo.
