The Rock's 'San Andreas' Shakes Up the Box Office
Roland Emmerich's disaster flick "San Andreas," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as an indestructible first responder, is on track to knock down $47 million this weekend, crushing the Bradley Cooper/Emma Stone romance "Aloha."
It's his best opening ever outside of the "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, defying critics and seismologists who knocked the exciting film's realism. (Several major North American cities are probably grateful the film isn't totally true-to-life!)
Bottom line: don't learn seismology from #SanAndreas but maybe it will inspire people to take Community Emergency Response Training
