Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the highest-paid (and busiest) actors working today.

In 2017, he starred in three blockbusters: Baywatch, The Fate of the Furious and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. And he raked in US$65 million, second only to actor Mark Wahlberg.

Johnson has starred in at least one movie every year since his feature debut in 2001 in The Mummy Returns – an impressive accomplishment for the wrestler turned actor.

But how much have his movies made?

With Skyscraper coming to theatres this weekend, Business Insider ranked the top 10 movies Johnson has starred in by domestic box-office performance, adjusted for inflation – including April's Rampage. We included the original domestic gross and the original worldwide gross for comparison.

We excluded movies Johnson only has a cameo in or does not play a prominent role, like Reno 911!: Miami. He also had a starring role in Empire State, but it was a straight-to-DVD release.

Johnson has starred in box-office disappointments, but he has also been the face of blockbusters such as the Fast and Furious franchise and last year's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which blew away expectations and has reached almost US$1 billion worldwide.
