Dwayne Johnson's latest film Opening to mixed reviews, anyone who had doubts about Skyscraper's success now has their feelings validated.

Skyscraper - a film Die Hard - follows security consultant Will Sawyer (Johnson) - a U.S. war veteran and FBI hostage rescue team leader - as he's assigned to assess the safety of the world's tallest building in Hong Kong. Before long though, Sawyer finds himself fighting wrongful accusations, as a fire engulfs the massive structure, trapping his family inside. While fighting to clear his name and save his family, Sawyer finds there is more to his current circumstances than meets the eye. The film also stars Neve Campbell, Pablo Schreiber, and Noah Taylor.

As reported by industry predictions for Skyscraper's opening, which just a few days ago ranged between $35 and $40 million.

The failure of Skyscraper to shine at the box office might likely be related to the high amount of recent films starring Johnson. This is the third film released in the last 6 months with Johnson fronting the cast. Solo: A Star Wars Story, sometimes its best to give audiences a chance to breathe for awhile before releasing one's next project. For now though, this is slated to be Johnson's last starring film role of 2018. His 2019 risks being overly packed again however, with Hobbs & Shaw, Jungle Cruise, and Jumanji 3 all on deck.

While Skyscraper failed to measure up to its projected earnings, Universal has many more films in the pipeline this year that may prove to be more successful, and help soften Skyscraper's blow. The Rock, who remains very personally popular, even if every one of his movies doesn't end up breaking the bank.
