The action-drama "Snitch" starring Dwayne Johnson opened second at the box office during what was considered a weak showing in the movie industry.
Despite Johnson's current run with WWE and different tie-ins for the film via commercials and online marketing, the film only garnered $13.2 Millions, according to DeadlineHollywood.com.

The film is the first of several Johnson stars in that will open over the next several months. Next up is G.I. Joe: Retribution, a sequel which sees Johnson step into the role of Roadblock.

A weak showing doesn't mean WWE didn't help him. Maybe without the WWE promotion the film only generates $10 million in revenue on the opening weekend.

I think it's a case of "Not even the WWE connection can result in it producing satisfactory numbers".

I remember watching his first few movies when I was younger. Not Scorpion King, but like Walking Tall, and that other one that had Sean WIlliams Scott. They were OK honestly. Good action comedies. He is funny in "be Cool" as well

Exactly what my post implies, noob.

Your post implies that the connection with WWE didnt help the opening weekend. No where does it speak of the quality of said film. Douche :pity:
