San Andreas has certainly been no disaster at the box office, having opened to an impressive $113 million worldwide.
The blockbuster movie, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, opened in 60 markets around the globe and shot to the number one position domestically with $53.1 million (knocking Tomorrowland from the top spot) and added another $60 million from its international screenings. This is the biggest non-Fast and Furious or G.I. Joe opening for Dwayne Johnson, who many thought wasn’t able to helm a money making movie after the failure of Hercules last year.
San Andreas‘ $53.1 million is also way ahead of its predicted take of $40 million.
