Dwayne Johnson‘s $428 million monster movie became a success again seven years later, earning its revitalization after also getting a new streaming home. Johnson has been the star of many high-octane action movies across his career, something he continues to embrace to this day. Whether it’s starring in the cast of Red One, a holiday action comedy, or a superhero film like 2022’s Black Adam, the star has often been attached to thrilling projects. While some have been more critically well-received than others, he remains a big box office draw.

This was especially the case in the 2010s, when he collaborated with director Brad Peyton on a number of successful, high-budget action movies. In 2012, he starred in the action-adventure film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which earned $335 million against an $80 million budget, despite mixed reception. The pair would collaborate again in 2015 for San Andreas, a disaster movie that once again got mixed reviews, but scored $474 million at the box office with a $110 million budget. However, their third collaboration is now a major streaming success, following its theatrical release in 2018.
