Even though Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, producer Beau Flynn and its screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift had already discussed a sequel, Baywatch’s domestic numbers, and the poor critical response to the film, were just too weak.
Baywatch’s international success means that it now has a gross of $159.4 million, which, from a budget of just $69 million, marks it a relative success.
Unfortunately for those of you who enjoyed Dwayne Johnson’s take on the beloved 1990s action drama, that amount is unlikely to see its previously touted sequel actually become a reality.
