The Rock's box office hiccup but critics give a thumbs up

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson's movie, The Smashing Machine, hit a rough patch at the box office during its opening week. However, critics loved it! At the 2026 Golden Globes, The Rock missed out on the Best Male Actor award to Timothée Chalamet. He shared how the film, about MMA star Mark Kerr's battle with addiction, is very special to him.
