Losing $100 million at the box office for the second time might do it.

yeah, but you can't blame the rock for that. They pushed a live action remake of a movie that's not even that old. Moana 2 just came out, and they expect people to want to go see a live action of the original? trying to reuse IPs so soon bit them in the ass

No but his payday probably put them $20 million in the hole before they even started filming.

Did you want him to take half, before the shooting even began? Would that have made a difference?

My point is that they're paying him a shit ton of money that was never going to be a success. It's obviously the studio's fault for paying him but it's no one's fault but his own that The Rock just doesn't have the same appeal he did a decade ago. He's made a ton of shitty movies and people have grown tired of his fake, manufactured personality.
