With Skyscraper flopping, does The Rock need to change his gameplan?

Sooner or later audiences are going to get fatigued watching him, especially if most of his movies are similar.

It was alright, but I didn't walk in expecting a classic. I got a movie pass so it was whatever.

Dude is like the new Steven Seagal...just signing on to any movie that comes his way and more or less playing the same character.

Nobody asked the Rock to do a poor man's die hard.

I haven’t seen it, but honestly based on the trailer i wasn’t interested. It’s a typical crazy action movie from him. It’s one of the movies that I’ll wait to watch once it gets on demand. Not worth paying to see at the movies—basically.

A few more duds and he will be on Expendables 8
I don';t think so.
Rock's disappointing box office tends to fall in between him doing really well at the box office. So he has the Jumanji sequel and the Fast & The Furious spinoff that are most likely going to make a lot of money.
Now if he were to go on a consecutive slump of bomb after bomb he would have problems but his career as a movie star has always been mostly highs with lows sprinkled in here and there.

You are comparing him to “thespians” that went to school for the performing arts.... The Rock is a wildly popular athlete that’s been turned into an action hero.. and Hollywood has lanes for that...
He's not even good at that though. His movies are one-and-dones at BEST.
