Moana BOMBS at $43m opening! Is this the end of THE ROCK's movie career? + A24 screws up THE INVITE

About this episode

The episode discusses the poor box office performance of the live action Moana and its implications for Dwayne The Rock Johnson's career, along with a critique of A24's release strategy for The Invite.

The live action MOANA tanked in its opening weekend, and we break down WHY and whether this means curtains for Dwayne The Rock Johnson as a movie star. Is The Rock headed to straight-to-video Uwe Boll action flicks? A24 butchered the release of Seth Rogen's new comedy THE INVITE and we rake the studio over the coals. Plus why is Universal dropping OBSESSION on the (Pea)cock in a few days?!? It's a classic rant-filled ep. --- Remember to Rate (5 Stars), Review (Great show, blah, blah, blah) and Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b-o-boys-movie-box-office/id1489892648 E-mail us: theboboyspodcast@gmail.com Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@theboboyspodcast Follow us on TikTok and Instagram: @TheBOBoysPod Subscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@theboboys Our AWESOME artwork was provided by the talented Ellie Skrzat.
