I thought it might be interesting to see how much The Rock’s movies have made and whats keeping him in hollywood, I took all the figures from IMDB or Box Office Mojo which I’ve listed. I hope this might educate some of the wrestling fans who are wondering why he isn’t coming back to wrestle.
I haven’t included his cameo roles in the total (which I’ve also noted) or his upcoming movies which are expected or currently in the box office.
