The Rock doesn't care about his resume or craft. If you're an actor, it's a shame. If you're looking to collect a check as he is, you don't care, just make sure the money is in my account.

You are comparing him to “thespians” that went to school for the performing arts.... The Rock is a wildly popular athlete that’s been turned into an action hero.. and Hollywood has lanes for that...

And outside of the Fast and Furious movies, which are draws on their own, who's running to the box office to see a Rock movie? The Hobbs movie is a F&F spinoff. Unlike wrestling, he's not a box office draw. If you're going to be in a lane, you better be good at it.

To be fair, is anyone really a box office draw anymore? I honestly couldn’t tell you the last actor that opened 100 million on the strength of his name alone. I honestly think it might have been Will Smith in Hancock way back in 08.

Leo is the most consistent box office draw today I’d say. His name alone is a selling point.

Leonardo DiCaprio Movie Box Office Results

Leo is not putting up numbers like that. He makes great films, no doubt. But he only has 10 films to gross over 100 million domestic for his career.

Will Smith Movie Box Office Results

In terms of him being the reason asses get put into seats. I don’t think anyone is ever going to touch Will Smith. Not without a franchise.

Tom Cruise Movie Box Office Results

There’s an argument for Tom Cruise.

You asked if anyone was a draw today. And limiting it to just domestic is strange.


Will smith ain’t a draw anymore. Look at his last 10 years.


Leo in the last 10 years is a consistent draw.
