Looks like The Rock only reached a rough velocity of 17mph based on how far he’s fallen, so he’ll fall ~4 meters short….”ĭoes he make the jump? Well, guess we might have to watch this movie to find out. He was replaced by Cacophony guitarist Jason Becker. In 1989, following the successful Skyscraper Tour, Vai departed from the band. Like its predecessor, the album was a commercial success, reaching number six on the Billboard 200 chart. “If he performed a long jump, he’d have to reach about 26 mph on the takeoff to come close to making it and you can tell by how much his center of mass dropped, that he did not reach that takeoff velocity. Roth's subsequent album Skyscraper, released in 1988, was produced by both Roth and Vai. Dwayne Johnson attempts a death-defying rescue when his family becomes trapped within a burning skyscraper. 8.95×1.7= about 15 meters, so it’s probably possible for a human to make it…just not very likely unless you’re a record-setting Olympic athlete.”ĬITIUS MAG friend Steve Magness gave the math a try as well and tweeted: Skyscraper (15,746) 5.8 1 h X-Ray HDR UHD PG-13 HD. As a comparison, let’s take the long jump world record: 8.95 meters. Framed and on the run, a former FBI agent must save his family from a blazing fire in the worlds tallest building. Using some basic physics (H = a/2 ) I come up with a fall time of about 1.7 seconds. He’s about two meters tall in real life, so say he falls six meters and has to move 14 meters. pa3HDXlMauĭumbFlotrack tweeted for the folks at They Did The Math to try and calculate the jump’s length and they did. The Rock will break the long jump world record this year. On Sunday night, we tweeted a photo of the poster with Powell photoshopped in there. It’s a jump that looks remarkably tough and definitely longer than Mike Powell’s world record of 8.95 m (29 ft 4¼ in) from 1991. The movie poster has The Rock jumping toward the window of a building that is on fire. war veteran Will Sawyer (Dwayne Johnson) now assesses security for skyscrapers. As of right now, there’s very few details regarding the film’s plot since iMDB has it as described “as a hostage-action-thriller set in China.” As a cheeky and proudly dim actioner that features a one-legged Dwayne Johnson jumping from a crane into a burning skyscraper some hundred feet away, the movie is gloriously kitsch, and with just.

The “whitewashed” epic The Great Wall, conceived as Hollywood-Chinese cross-fertilisation and backed by Legendary, was a notorious money-loser, while Asura, billed as the most expensive Chinese film ever made, has been withdrawn at short notice from cinemas after earning a disastrous $7.1m.Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will star in Skyscraper, which is set to be released in theaters in July. Solid as a rock: Award-winning geological skyscraper finally completed. The film, set in a Hong Kong tower block, was produced by Hollywood outfit Legendary Pictures, who in 2016 were purchased by Chinese conglomerate Wanda, and have since concentrated on releasing films – Warcraft, Pacific Rim: Uprising, Kong: Skull Island – that had putatively crossover potential, but all struggled to break even on enormous production budgets.Ĭhina’s appetite for its own big-budget spectaculars is also proving difficult to anticipate. Yet still, an eyebrow might be raised at what director and writer Rawson Marshall Thurber put the harried guy by the name of Will Sawyer through in Skyscraper. The opening of Skyscraper is set 10 years before the main story, when Johnsons Sawyer was an FBI agent who specialized in hostage rescue.
This is despite the goodwill that Johnson has accrued as a performer, which suggests his commercial impact as a solo lead (ie, outside the multi-character Fast and Furious series) is steady rather than spectacular.ĭ’Alessandro also suggested that the producers’ preoccupation with appealing to Chinese audiences may have compromised Skyscraper’s appeal in the US. Jumanji (which came out in December 2017), was a significant global money earner, while giant-ape thriller Rampage recorded only middling results, though its US opening, at $35m in April 2018, was well ahead of Skyscraper. In Skyscraper, the biggest (fictional) free-standing building in the world catches on fire at its structural midpoint, and Dwayne The Rock Johnson‘s family is stuck inside.
#THE ROCK SKYSCRAPER SERIES#
Skyscraper’s collapse is all the more startling as, just a few days ago, industry observers were confidently predicting it could score as much as $40m and provide serious competition for Transylvania, the third in a series of proven strength in the family-audience market.ĭeadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro identified Johnson “wear-out” as one of the primary causes of Skyscraper’s failure: the last eight months have also seen him in two major releases, Rampage and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
