San Andreas Brad Peyton

San Andreas is a 2015 American disaster thriller film directed by Brad Peyton and written by Carlton Cuse, with Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore receiving story credit. The film stars Dwayne Johnson in the lead role, with Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi and Paul Giamatti. Its plot centers on a massive earthquake caused by the San Andreas Fault that devastates the West Coast of the United States.

Principal photography of the film started on April 22, 2014, in Queensland, Australia, and wrapped up on July 28 in San Francisco. The film premiered in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on May 26, 2015, and was released in the United States on May 29. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visual effects and Johnson and Gugino's performances but criticized the plot and characters. The film grossed $474 million worldwide on a $110 million budget.

A Caltech seismologist, Dr. Lawrence Hayes, and his colleague Dr. Kim Park are at Hoover Dam to test a new earthquake prediction model when a nearby and previously-unknown fault ruptures and triggers a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that collapses the dam. Park sacrifices himself to save a young girl and gets swept away by the water.

Hayes discovers that the entire San Andreas Fault is shifting and will soon cause several massive earthquakes that will potentially destroy cities along the fault line. He begins racing to warn the population of California, along with his students Alexi and Phoebe and the reporter Serena Johnson.

When a 9.1-magnitude earthquake devastates Los Angeles and San Francisco, Ray Gaines, a chief rescue helicopter pilot of the Los Angeles Fire Department who is going through a divorce from his wife, Emma, finds himself rescuing her from a skyscraper in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, their daughter Blake has been visiting San Francisco with Emma's new boyfriend, Daniel; at that moment, an earthquake strikes the city. Rubble from the collapsing parking garage pins her in Daniel's car. Daniel leaves Blake to find help for her but then panics and ultimately abandons her in an act of cowardice. Ben Taylor, a British engineer seeking employment at Daniel's firm, and Ben's younger brother, Ollie, rescue Blake, and they reach Chinatown and successfully call her parents for help.

Ray and Emma attempt to reach San Francisco in Ray's helicopter until it suffers a gearbox failure, which forces them to make an emergency landing at a shopping mall in Bakersfield. Amid the chaos of the looting, Ray steals a truck to continue the journey. The pair encounters a couple that was broken down on the side of the road shortly before the San Andreas Fault, which has torn a large fissure through the highway and extends for the perceivable length of the fault in either direction.

Ray and Emma exchange the truck for an airplane the couple owns. As Blake, Ben, and Ollie attempt to reach Nob Hill to signal the pair after finding their previous meeting point at Coit Tower engulfed in flames, Ray and Emma parachute into AT&T Park just before a 9.6-magnitude quake hits, which becomes the largest recorded earthquake in history.

As the quake subsides, having destroyed much of the city, Ray and Emma commandeer a boat to reach the group, only to realize that a tsunami is approaching San Francisco Bay. Alongside a handful of other survivors in small ships, the two cross the wave before it crests, barely avoiding a container ship caught up in the tsunami wave. The ship crashes into the Golden Gate Bridge's center span, killing everyone on the bridge, including Daniel, who gets crushed by a falling shipping container.

The tsunami strikes the ruined city, which capsizes a cruise ship and kills thousands more. Blake, Ben, and Ollie enter the Gate, a building whose construction Daniel had been overseeing, but they are still caught by the wave. As the building begins to collapse, trapping Blake underwater, Ray dives in, rescues her, and performs CPR. Emma crashes the boat through a window and drives the five of them out of the collapsing building as Ray resuscitates Blake.

The survivors regroup at a relief camp on the other side of the bay, where the reconciled Ray and Emma talk about their future. On the remains of the Golden Gate Bridge, an American flag unfolds and gives hope that the city will recover and rebuild as rescue vehicles descend on the destroyed landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area, which now extends from San Jose to Santa Cruz, with the San Francisco Peninsula having been turned into an island.

[39]

San Andreas premiered on May 26, 2015, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.[40] It was initially scheduled for a 2D and 3D release on June 5, 2015,[41] but was later moved up a week.[42] San Andreas was also released in Dolby Vision, making it Warner Bros. Pictures' first film to adopt the format.[43]

Home media

San Andreas was released as a digital download, and on Blu-ray and DVD on October 13, 2015.[44] Upon its first week of release on home media in the U.S., the film topped the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks overall disc sales, and debuted at number 2 at the Blu-ray Disc sales chart with 40% of unit sales coming from Blu-ray, a surprisingly low ratio given the film's over-the-top special effects. It was blocked by the Diamond Edition Blu-ray Disc edition of the 1992 Disney animated classic Aladdin.[45] As of 2016, it is available in 4K UHD Blu-ray.[46]

Box office

San Andreas grossed $155.2 million in the United States and Canada and $319.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $475 million.[4] Deadline Hollywood calculated the film's net profit as $88.07 million, accounting for production budgets, marketing, talent participations, and other costs; box office grosses and home media revenues placed it eighteenth on their list of 2015's "Most Valuable Blockbusters".[47] Since its release, the film remains the highest-grossing live-action Hollywood original film of the past seven years as of July 2022.[48]

North America

San Andreas opened in North America across 3,777 theaters including a total of 3,200 3D locations.[49] Several days prior to the film's release various box office pundits were predicting a $40 million or more opening in North America.[3][50] It made $3.1 million from Thursday night showings[51] and $18.2 million on its opening day.[52][53] It earned $54.5 million in its opening weekend which was well above the tracking and predictions.[54][55] It was Johnson's biggest opening as a lead actor, surpassing the $36 million debut of his The Scorpion King in 2002 even after adjusting for inflation.[56] Warner Bros. distribution chief Dan Fellman commented about the successful opening, saying that audiences never get tired of disaster films, even going back to The Poseidon Adventure (1972). He added, "What also gets tiring is when you start to do sequels of the same thing. It needs to be fresh, and you have to have the right chemistry in the cast", pointing out the originality of the film, and the performances of Johnson and the other cast, as some of the factors behind the film's successful opening.[55] In its second weekend, it experienced a drop of 52% earning an estimated $26.4 million, falling in second place (behind Spy), but experiencing a smaller fall than that of other disaster movies.[57]

Outside North America

Outside North America, the film opened in a total of 60 countries in the same weekend, including France, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Australia.[58] It opened Wednesday, May 27 in 4 countries, added 38 countries on Thursday and 18 more countries on Friday, May 29[59] and through Sunday, May 31 earned a 5-day opening weekend total of $63.9 million from 15,420 screens in 60 countries debuting at first place in 55 of those countries as well as at the international box office.[60] In its second weekend, it added $97.7 million.[61] It topped the box office outside of North America for two consecutive weekends before being overtaken by Jurassic World in its third weekend.[61]

It had the biggest opening for a disaster movie and second-biggest for Warner Bros. in Mexico with $10.1 million from 3,100 screens.[60] In China, it had a three-day opening weekend of $35 million[62] and six-day opening total of $51.8 million from 8,795 screens,[61] although Chinese box office analysts site Entgroup reported a $55 million opening.[63] Despite health concerns over the MERS virus,[64] which resulted in the plunge of theater admissions,[65] the film opened to $7.2 million in South Korea (including Wednesday sneaks) and topped the box office.[61][66] It had similar successful openings in the UK, Ireland and Malta ($7.2 million), Russia and the CIS ($5.3 million), Brazil ($3.2 million) France ($3.1 million), India ($2.5 million), Australia ($2.4 million), Hong Kong ($2.2 million) and Germany ($2 million).[60][61] It became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela, and in China it is the fourth highest.[67][68] As of June 28, 2015 in total earnings, its largest market outside of North America are China ($103.2 million) and Mexico ($28.4 million).[69]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, the film has an approval rating of 48% based on 252 reviews and an average rating of 5.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "San Andreas has a great cast and outstanding special effects, but amidst all the senses-shattering destruction, the movie's characters and plot prove less than structurally sound."[70] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 43 out of 100 based on 42 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[71] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.[72]

IGN awarded it a score of 7.5 out of 10, saying, "There are some cracks in the foundation, but San Andreas is solid popcorn fare thanks to sharp visuals and The Rock."[73]

Writing in Variety, Andrew Barker wrote, "Of the many charges that can be levied against Brad Peyton's San Andreas, false advertising is not one of them. The disaster pic promises nothing more than the complete CGI destruction of California as foregrounded by Dwayne Johnson's jackfruit-sized biceps, and it delivers exactly that".[74] Andrew O'Hehir wrote in Salon, "Considered as pure spectacle, San Andreas is gripping and effective, as well as a somewhat interesting form of counter-narrative: A vision of near-term apocalypse that has nothing to do with climate change, monsters or alien invaders".[75] Entertainment Weekly's critic Chris Nashawaty wrote, "As patently preposterous, scientifically dubious, and unapologetically corny as director Brad Peyton's orgy of CGI devastation is, its popcorn prophecy of the inevitable is a blast of giddy, disposable fun".[76] Mick LaSalle wrote in The San Francisco Chronicle, "Some movies are easy to mock, but hard to resist. This is one of them".[77]

The American Geosciences Institute's Earth Magazine called the film "dreadful" and criticized it for "perpetuat[ing] geologic absurdities", also pointing out that "despite the notoriety of the San Andreas Fault, it is not the greatest seismic threat to the Bay Area", with the nearby Hayward Fault having the potential to cause immense damage to bridges, roads, utilities and communications with a smaller magnitude quake due to its proximity to areas of dense urban population. While a full rupture along the Cascadia Subduction Zone would be the worst disaster of US history,[78] a rupture along the Hayward fault would affect a much smaller area where the impact on the urban infrastructure could be mitigated by retrofitting, enforcement of seismic building codes and other preparedness measures.[79]

Accolades

At the 2015 Teen Choice Awards, San Andreas was nominated for Choice Movie: Action. Daddario and Johnson received a nomination for Choice Movie Actress: Action and Choice Summer Movie Star: Male, respectively.[80] It garnered nominations for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature, Outstanding Effects Simulations in a Photoreal Feature (earned two), and Outstanding Compositing in a Feature Motion Picture at the 14th Visual Effects Society Awards.[81] Johnson was nominated for Best Action Performance and Best Hero at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.[82]

In February 2016, New Line announced that a sequel is in development, and its plot will reportedly focus on the Ring of Fire. Neil Widener and Gavin James were hired as screenwriters, while Brad Peyton and Beau Flynn will return as director and producer, respectively. Johnson is set to reprise his role, while Gugino, Daddario and Giamatti are expected to return as well. Johnson and Peyton were announced to serve as producers.[83][84] In July 2021, Daddario expressed her doubts that a sequel was happening.[85]

In November 2021, Johnson announced that they are still developing the sequel, while stating that scheduling conflicts are why the production has not started yet.[86] He elaborated that his studio looks for projects that have what they internally call the "Moses Effect", explaining that this means that they take immediate precedence over the rest of the many projects on their film-slate; stating that he feels like the sequel falls into this category.[87] In December 2021, Hiram Garcia confirmed that Warner Bros. Pictures wants a sequel, while Seven Bucks Productions delayed development in favor of other projects.[88]
