Taylor Swift’s new film has topped the box office, earning $46 million worldwide, while Dwayne Johnson’s latest project has flopped significantly.
Taylor Swift Achieves Box Office Success
Swift’s film, “The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,” made $33 million over the weekend and an additional $13 million internationally. This project, which serves as a listening party for her new album, has received strong audience ratings, including an A+ from CinemaScore.
Dwayne Johnson’s Film Disappoints
In stark contrast, Johnson’s film, “The Smashing Machine,” debuted in third place with only $6 million. This figure fell short of projections and marked a career low for the actor.
Despite being lauded at festivals, audience reception has been lukewarm, evident with a lower CinemaScore rating. Johnson plays a wrestler making a comeback after beating addiction.
Other Box Office Performances
Leonardo DiCaprio’s film, “One Battle After Another,” secured the second position with $10.3 million but experienced a 53% drop from its premiere weekend. It has earned a total of $41 million domestically.
Meanwhile, “Anemone,” featuring Daniel Day-Lewis, garnered only $700,000. Disney’s re-release of “Avatar: The Way of Water” earned $10 million, ahead of its upcoming sequel.
