How Achieved In Theaters With Skyscraper?
Why There Is a Resurgence of Skyscrapers
Based on Netflix’s top 10, it appears that action and thriller genres dominated the viewing habits of its users. All of the titles on the list fall into either the action or thriller categories, with the exception of Space Jam: A New Legacy and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. One may argue that this trend is a result of these subgenres’ widespread appeal. However, viewers who were exploring the genre might have been directed toward some lesser-known action-thrillers, which could have inadvertently prompted some of the other films.
Given that Skyscraper wasn’t as independently successful as some of the other films on this list, like Split or The Accountant, it is likely that the movie profited from this trend. When it was first released, Skyscraper garnered mixed reviews; movie had a 48% Rotten Tomatoes score. The picture was somewhat more popular with the audience, as seen by the 68% positive-slanting approval rating.
At the time of its release, Skyscraper did rather well at the box office despite receiving negative reviews. $304.8 million was made on the movie worldwide; overseas markets accounted for $236.4 million of the total revenue.
Although Johnson has starred in or assisted the cast of numerous action movies, Skyscraper is by no means his greatest or most commercially successful work. Nonetheless, it’s an enjoyable foray into the thriller genre that centers on the motivation of a single main character. Even though Skyscraper wasn’t a big hit when it came out, it’s now receiving a second opportunity at success because to Netflix’s US charts.
