I heard see no evil did, but did the others?

The Marine seemingly made money as well.

The Condemned might have - it made a loss at the box office but took a lot more money in DVD sales.

How about 12 rounds?

How about 12 rounds?

That looked pretty bad. Worse than the Marine looked.

Ignoring The Condemned on that chart since its missing a few stats, looks like The Rock generated $120 million of the total Worldwide Gross profits but neither made it up for amount spent making the film.

The Rundown wasn't part of WWE Films was it?

I believe that was during the time Universal Pictures had an exclusive contract for any film or talent from WWE Films.

The Condemned might be the final film of that partnership since it bombed badly compared to expectations.

12 rounds was actually the least awful of them all. Just seemed like a regular action movie.

edit- Excluding the movies with Rocky in them. Didn't see that they were included.

The Condemned was Lions Gate.

Apparently it was a collaboration. Maybe that's why the budget info from the graph was missing.

Rundown and Walking Tall were not WWE films which is why they were actually good.

Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia was worth a watch back then. What's its gross income like?

Swiss Ultimate

Huh, it wasn't included on that website. I wonder how much of a co-producer the WWE really was there.

VSG

If Ken "Kennedy" was in it, you bet it was atleast 50%. Also, Wiki says it was straight-to-dvd and has earned ~$5.5 million so far.

Boxofficemojo.com is the best site to go to for any questions about gross or budget for any movie ever. PROTIP
