The Rock‘s latest film ‘Rampage’ hits theaters today and Box Office Pro is predicting the video game adaption will fare well in comparison to Rock’s last hit, ‘Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle’ which debuted in the top spot in American cinema:
The former of the two stands likely to open in first place this weekend as leading Dwayne Johnson anchors the (loosely adapted) video game film fresh off the blockbuster success of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle just a few months ago. Johnson has proven to be one of the most bankable stars working today, particularly in the action genre, and marketing for the film has been dominant in recent weeks. The film’s proximity to Avengers: Infinity War in two weeks could hinder the kind of event-level demand San Andreas enjoyed and further lead to some frontloading, but Rampage‘s overall outlook remains optimistic as Johnson looks to add another hit to his resume.
Box Office Pro is predicting Rampage will take debut at number 1 with a forecast of $36,500,000 weekend. You can read the entire article here.
