WWE’s Final Boss Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson continues to be a force on the big screen by reaching an incredible movie milestone this week. As confirmed by Deadline, Johnson saw not one, but two movies reach #1 in their theatrical openings in November 2024 with Red One and Moana 2. Red One, an Amazon MGM Studios production, opened with a $32.1 million gross, while Moana 2 has the potential to hit $200 million over five days.
Having two films reach #1 in the same month is certainly a massive accolade for the Brahma Bull, whose success doesn’t stop there. Moana 2, a sequel to the 2016 film, has delivered the best Thanksgiving opening of all time, Deadline adds.
No other star has pulled off two #1 films in the same month, the report adds, though some did come close, including:
- Chris Pratt (Super Mario Bros. Movie/Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3)
- Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers/Snow White & The Huntsman)
- Tom Hanks (Toy Story 2/The Green Mile)
These A-List talents came close, but only Johnson has been able to deliver two #1 films in the same calendar month. The Brahma Bull is also working on a live-action adaptation of the first Moana film, with fans recently catching their first glimpse of the WWE icon as Maui.
Amid Johnson’s Hollywood dominance, wrestling fans continue to await his return to WWE following his return in the closing moments of Bad Blood. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on The Rock who continues to be a leading man in Hollywood and WWE.
