  • “Skyscraper,” starring big box office draw, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, had a very poor opening weekend at the box office.
  • The movie only took in $ 25 million, coming in third place.
  • A sequel is king once again this summer as Adam Sandler’s “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” took in $ 44.1 million.

Dwayne Johnson’s latest solo effort was no match for the summer movie sequels.

Universal always knew putting The Rock’s movie, “Skyscraper,” a homage to thrilling disaster movies like “Die Hard” and “The Towering Inferno,” up against a slew of sequels would be a challenge, but the studio didn’t know it would turn out this bad.
