Dwayne Johnson\u2019s The Smashing Machine is headed for a dismal end to its box office run. It took the film eight days to hit $10 million worldwide. Johnson\u2019s switch to serious roles from his regular action comedy backfired miserably. The film had a modest budget, but the break-even point is still challenging. Scroll below to find out how much the film still needs to be profitable.<\/p>\n
The film earned very little in its first week at the domestic box office. Johnson\u2019s film failed to cross the $1 million mark, a dismal outcome for a new release. It collected less than $6 million in its opening weekend, registering one of the lowest debuts in Dwayne\u2019s career.<\/p>\n
The Smashing Machine hits $10 million worldwide.<\/p>\n
Dwayne Johnson is a massive star who has been entertaining fans for years with his excellent action movies. The Smashing Machine has action, but it is different from his other films. He took a risk pivoting to this genre and getting out of his comfort zone. However, it does not favor the actor, as the film only amassed $10.08 million worldwide [via Box Office Mojo<\/a>] after eight days.<\/p>\n Dwayne\u2019s film is not going to bounce back. It collected $545K on its second Friday at the box office in North America, a massive drop of 79.9% from last Friday, when it was released.<\/p>\n Latest breakdown of the film\u2019s worldwide collection<\/p>\n North America \u2013 $8.5 million How much more does the film need to earn worldwide to be profitable?<\/p>\n According to multiple media outlets, including Deadline<\/a>, The Smashing Machine has a net production cost of around $50 million. By industry standards, a film typically needs to earn at least 2.5 times its budget at the box office to break even. However, reaching that benchmark doesn\u2019t automatically make it a success\u2014it simply places the film in a neutral zone, meaning it\u2019s neither a flop nor a hit. A movie is considered a box office success only once it generates profits beyond its break-even point.<\/p>\n Therefore, The Smashing Machine must earn significantly more than $125 million worldwide to be a box office success. Since the film currently has a worldwide total of $10.1 million, it needs a 1137% jump to be commercially successful. In numbers, it needs $120 million+ more to be successful. Honestly, that is unlikely to happen, and this will end up as one of Dwayne<\/a>\u2018s biggest flops ever.<\/p>\n Directed by Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt<\/a>, was released in theaters on October 3.<\/p>\n Stay tuned to Koimoi for more\u00a0box office updates<\/a>\u00a0and stories.<\/p>\n Must Read: Roofman North America Box Office Day 1: Channing Tatum Puts Dwayne Johnson To Shame, Earning 22% More Than The Smashing Machine<\/a><\/p>\n Follow Us: Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | YouTube<\/a> | Google News<\/a><\/p>\n
