Will Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson be Immortalized in Jungle Cruise Attractions?

[JustInTime]

He's been in a couple of flops, but most of his action/comedy popcorn flicks do quite well.
They aren't meant to be blockbusters.

No? If not blockbusters then what are they meant to be? I assure you, Disney intends them the be blockbusters. After all, a film only has to make over 100 million to be considered a blockbuster.

 

[JustInTime]

Because most people love him and he makes them a lot of money. It's not hard to get.

His movies aren't that successful. It's actually a little hard to get.

Yeah...on average his movies only take in about $100 Mil (which is your definition of a blockbuster) and overall his films have grossed $2 Bil. How I only wish I could be as unsuccessful as the "The Rock".

Here is some more sass for you. Also if you are interested, you might want to check 2014 and 2013.

You don't think there are tiers to film releases? By that logic, the independent film and rom com directors should just give up.

Time to put a lock @wdwmagic?

I don't think the Rock will get an appearance in the JC attraction. There probably wont be the continued sequels to drive the decision to put him in. At the most the skipppers might play on his name as they move through their ride speil, thats the most he could hope for. Depp got his animatronic because of the continued success and money making he brought to Disney as Sparrow. His successful portrayal as a pirate had guests looking for him so Disney added him in. The Rock needs more profitability and recognition to get him in as a desired park figure.

They will probably just make him a rock

Or they might designate a pebble for him and say hes hoping to move up to Rock status.

When the boat goes past the crocodile scene, the skipper can just yell... "Do you smell what the CROC is cooking!"

By who's standard? Considering the average budget for modern films, making $100 million at the box office may not even break even.

There you go trying to use common sense again.

I'm pretty sure they knew a remake of Escape From Witch Mountain wasn't going to do Star Wars numbers.

 

[Rescue Ranger]

I sure hope not. Can't stand him. Nothing against the guy personally, but I cannot sit through his "acting".
Normally I'd be thrilled for a Jungle Cruise movie but if he's in it, no thanks.

Turned me off Moana too. Granted, although it looks stunning, the movie itself so far isn't appealing to me anyway. He doesn't help though.

Race to Witch Mountain was surprisingly not terrible. Of course, that's one of those movies I don't want to watch again for fear I'll see all the flaws the second time around and realize it's very, very stupid. Like Signs. "Wait, the aliens are weak against water, so they invade a planet that's 80% water?!?"

 

[Phroobar]

With the sucess of the AA drivers at Universal's Skull Island ride, Disney is replacing the live skippers with an AA version of the Rock. Some of them will be shirtless to increase the female appeal of the ride.

 

[Matt_Black]

Can we all just take a moment to be glad that the proposed Tim Allen/ Tom Hanks Jungle Cruise dramatic film pitch now appears to be dead in the water?

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Well, at least he hasn't taken over any other rides....

The guy in the back looks like he smelled something, and I don't think it was what the Rock was cooking.
