After Moana 2 $717M BO Success: WWE's Final Boss The Rock Unlocks THIS Hollywood Milestone

WWE’s Final Boss The Rock has achieved a new milestone in Hollywood after stacking numerous accolades for himself over the years. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is royalty in the world of professional wrestling. He’s won numerous titles over the years and is one of the most electrifying wrestlers in WWE.
He’s acted in multiple movies over the years, with the most recent one being Red One, where he teams up with Captain America actor Chris Evans, gearing up to save Santa Claus and Christmas. The movie released in theaters in November this year, but it didn’t do extremely well in theatres. However, with the movie recently making it to streaming platforms, the numbers tell an extremely different story.
According to Deadline, Red One was viewed for a total of 50 Million times ever since it made it to Amazon Prime. The movie was initially supposed to release on Amazon Prime only, but MGM, the producers behind the movie, changed plans at the last minute, pushing for a theatrical release before it finally made its way to the online streaming platforms.
The previous record holder was Road House which took two weeks to hit the 50 Million milestone. Overall, The Rock has had a successful year, and more specifically a month, because of his previous movie Moana 2, where he voiced Maui. The movie has grossed $717.8 Million worldwide at the time of writing this article.
Speaking about Red One, MGM Studio’s head Jennifer Salkem believes that this would be a staple holiday movie for years to come.

She said, “Given the audience response to Red One both in theaters and on Prime Video, the film will clearly be a perennial holiday favorite for years to come. Every film is different, and we are so grateful for the partnership with our filmmakers in collectively finding the right strategy to get this film in front of the widest possible audience.”
She further added, “With Red One, there was no doubt that strategy needed to include a theatrical release and associated marketing campaign, which drove audiences to theaters and generated awareness for the film with viewers who would ultimately tune in on Prime Video. It’s rewarding to see our plan pay off for customers, and we are incredibly thankful to the entire filmmaking team and cast who helped make it happen.”
With these projects successfully behind him, it’s likely that The Rock will be preparing for a WWE comeback, especially now that RAW will be moving to Netflix on January 2025. It will be interesting to see how he’ll make his way into the ongoing Bloodline feud, because he’s a major player in that storyline too.
