Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “San Andreas” rumbled to $3.1 million at the Thursday box office, an impressive first step for the 3D earthquake action film.
That haul is more than double the $1.4 million Thursday night take of “Gravity,” the similarly 3D disaster thriller from Warner Bros. that debuted with $55.7 million in October of 2013. And it’s way ahead of “Aloha,” the Bradley Cooper-Emma Stone romantic comedy from Cameron Crowe and Sony, which managed $500,000 in its debut Thursday.
Thursday shows aren’t always indicative of how the weekend will go at the box office, but this one probably is.
