Dwayne Johnson helped the movie over-perform on the West Coast despite fears that audiences in earthquake-prone regions would stay away
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson out-muscled the competition at US movie theatres as the earthquake epic San Andreas made an estimated $53.2 million (Dh195.4 million) over the weekend. It was Johnson’s biggest debut for a non-sequel as the top-billed actor, according to box office tracker Rentrak.
The action star helped the movie over-perform on the West Coast despite fears that audiences in earthquake-prone regions would stay away, said Dan Fellman, president of US distribution for Warner Bros, which distributed the film made by its New Line unit.
“Some people felt they’d be a little nervous watching such a disaster hit both Los Angeles and San Francisco, but there was a curiosity factor,” Fellman said. “They went, they packed the theatres and they liked it.”
Aloha, the critically maligned romantic comedy from director Cameron Crowe, opened in sixth place with $10 million.
The movie was dogged by controversy. Leaked emails from former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal last year labelled the Aloha script “ridiculous.” Then, some Native Hawaiian groups opposed the title as misappropriating the concept of the word. An Asian American group criticised the use of a nearly all-white cast in a film shot in Hawaii, a heavily Asian island chain.
A slew of critics slammed the movie — many calling it confusing, wondering if parts of it were missing, and saying it was Cameron’s worst film ever despite the all-star cast of Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, and Rachel McAdams. They combined to give it a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 17 per cent.
Rory Bruer, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s president of worldwide distribution, said Aloha did well enough with women aged 25-34 to overcome the negative buzz. The film cost about $37 million to make.
“Ultimately, we are going to come out just fine on the movie. But more than anything we’re proud of the film,” he said.
After showings, audiences gave San Andreas 3.5 out of 5 stars on average, while giving Aloha just 2 out of 5.
Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s senior media analyst, said the expectations-busting performance of San Andreas in theatres helped jolt Hollywood out of a funk that began on the Memorial Day long weekend.
“For it to perform in this way when typically the summer is driven by sequels proves the power of Dwayne Johnson at the box office,” Dergarabedian said. “He’s a seismic event all on his own.”
For the year to date, box office revenues for theatres in the US and Canada are up nearly 5 per cent at $4.26 billion, while attendance is up more than 4 per cent.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final US figures will be released on Monday.
1. “San Andreas,” $53.2 million ($60 million international).
2. “Pitch Perfect 2,” $14.8 million ($10.4 million international).
3. “Tomorrowland,” $13.8 million ($29.3 million international).
4. “Mad Max: Fury Road,” $13.6 million ($21.6 million international).
5. “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” $10.9 million ($17.6 million international).
