<p>Not all stories end happily, and sometimes, it’s the sorrowful ones that stay with us the longest. These films dared to close on a somber note, leaving audiences emotionally raw and thinking about the characters long after the screen faded to black. From quiet goodbyes to crushing twists of fate, these sad movie endings remind us how powerful storytelling can be when it doesn’t offer easy closure.</p>

However, the film takes a less optimistic turn from this point.</p>



<p>Following an illegal punch during the championship, Maggie becomes paralyzed from the neck down. She loses her zest for life and pleads with Frankie to perform an act of mercy. It’s truly impossible not to feel heartbroken after witnessing the unfolding tragedy.</p>



<h2>Past Lives (2023)</h2>

<p>Celine Song’s directorial debut is a beautiful, carefully crafted film in which the characters grapple with different kinds of pain. This includes the pain of being an immigrant, the challenge of not being entirely rooted in one place or another, the ache of wondering what could have transpired with an old love, and the struggle of not fully articulating these complex emotions.</p>



<p>Starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro, the film follows two childhood friends over the course of 24 years as they contemplate the nature of their relationship while gradually growing apart and leading different lives. As the viewer accompanies Nora, the inevitable conclusion is heartbreaking, even though the story feels as commonplace as it could be.</p>

<p>This historical drama tells the story of Alan Turing, a brilliant mathematician and codebreaker played by Benedict Cumberbatch during World War II. Turing leads a team in the effort to crack the German Enigma code.</p>



<p>However, while Turing’s efforts not only helped end the war but also contributed to the development of early computers, the tragic ending comes from his mistreatment for being gay. After he was found guilty of gross indecency, he undergoes chemical castration and suffers the toll of years of hormonal therapy. In the epilogue, we learn that he ended his own life.</p>



<h2>La La Land (2016)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250531_SPEN_70026_AA1lkpnT_9610b629.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70030" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/30153446/AA1lkpnT.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/30153446/AA1lkpnT-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>‘La La Land’ is a film that has become an instant classic. Borrowing from movies such as ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and other beloved musicals, Damien Chazelle’s romantic drama brought up a tale about art, ambitions, following one’s dreams and, of course, heartbreak.</p>



<p>While the film is mostly optimistic, especially for the goals of our protagonists, the ending leaves a clear message: all success comes with its sacrifice. It wouldn’t hurt so much if we, as the characters, didn’t see how their future together would have been.</p>



<h2>Call Me By Your Name (2017)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250531_SPEN_70026_AA1lkfCo_4649f679.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-70031" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/30153523/AA1lkfCo.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/30153523/AA1lkfCo-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Luca Guadagnino’s coming-of-age film, based on the novel by André Aciman, unfolds the love story between Elio, a 17-year-old boy, and Oliver, a 24-year-old grad student who spends the summer with Elio’s family in Italy.</p>



<p>The age gap between the two main characters remains a matter of controversy, but, it adds a layer to the heartbreaking ending: Elio not only grieves the loss of his first love but also the loss of his innocence.</p>

<p>For Disney, live-action remakes are never a casual move. The company understands that turning animated classics into flesh is a reliable way to make money, but it also knows that audiences are becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of fresh ideas. Even so, the studio decided to revisit “Lilo and Stitch,”<strong> and the result has been a major success.</strong></p>



<p>According to data from The Numbers,<strong> the remake took just three days to surpass the box office total of the original 2002 hit. </strong>It has already become the sixth highest-grossing title of 2025 and is competing closely with Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” in every region.</p>



<p>Originally planned as a Disney+ release, the picture has shown that, despite some skepticism, <strong>spectators still prefer reimagined versions of stories they already know and love</strong> over unfamiliar, original ideas.</p>



<h2>Stitch’s 2025 Comeback Is a Financial Hit</h2>



<p>As of May 26, just three days after its global theatrical debut, the live-action “Lilo and Stitch” <strong>has already earned $341.7 million at the box office.</strong> According to Box Office Mojo, the 2002 animated original made $273.1 million—thanks not only to the film’s charm but also a clever marketing campaign that featured Stitch crashing trailers for Disney Renaissance classics like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” and “The Lion King.”</p>

<p>The 2025 reimagining expanded on that idea with an even bigger strategy. Stitch appeared in promotional material for upcoming blockbusters like “Moana 2” and “Mufasa: The Lion King,” <strong>and even hijacked a spot during Super Bowl LIX.</strong> </p>



<p>Later, Disney released parody posters featuring Stitch meddling with iconic elements from previous live-action remakes, including “Snow White,” “Cinderella,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin.” On April 3, during Disney’s CinemaCon panel, another poster dropped—this time showing Stitch causing chaos across major Disney-owned studios like <strong>Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Studios.</strong></p>



<p>The hype translated into major sales. Fandango reported that “Lilo and Stitch” became <strong>the year’s best first-day ticket preseller for a PG-rated flick,</strong> beating “A Minecraft Movie,” “Snow White,” “Dog Man,” and “Paddington in Peru.”</p>



<p>Initially projected to make $165 million domestically over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, the production <strong>earned $55 million on its opening day alone </strong>(including $14.5 million from Thursday night previews). The verdict? Live-actions have become Hollywood’s new goldmine.</p>

<p>In this modern reimagining of the classic tale, Tom Cruise stars as Nick Morton, a soldier who inadvertently awakens the ancient princess Ahmanet from her centuries-long tomb. As she seeks revenge on the world, Morton finds himself entangled in a battle between the forces of darkness and the possibility of saving humanity. This “Mummy” was part of Universal’s ambitious attempt to launch a shared cinematic universe called “Dark Universe,” intended to breathe new life into the iconic Universal Monsters. However, the movie’s negative reception led to the cancellation of the entire shared universe. The studio&nbsp;shifted direction and decided to focus on stand-alone stories instead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “A Princess of Mars,” “John Carter” follows a former Confederate captain who is transported to Mars and caught in a war between warring kingdoms. With grand plans for a trilogy, the film featured stunning visuals and a strong cast, including Taylor Kitsch and Willem Dafoe. However, its poor box office performance led Disney to cancel the sequels, despite the filmmakers’ interest in continuing the story.</p>



<h2>Alita: Battle Angel (2019)</h2>

<p>“Alita: Battle Angel” introduces viewers to a cyborg named Alita, who awakens in a future dystopian world with no memory of her past and embarks on a journey to discover her true identity. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, the movie dazzles with its stunning visuals and action sequences, driven by Alita’s quest for self-discovery and redemption. Although the film was praised for its captivating story and technology, it did not achieve the financial success that would have secured the planned follow-ups. Both Cameron and Rodriguez had big hopes for a continuation, with hints at multiple sequels and character developments, including the setup of Nova (Edward Norton) as a central antagonist. However, following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the changing landscape of its cinematic priorities, the prospect of a sequel became uncertain.</p>



<h2>Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHn2H_5e6613c2.webp&amp;width=650&amp;height=415" alt="" class="wp-image-69762" width="650" height="415" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162341/AA1yHn2H.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162341/AA1yHn2H-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>This action-packed reimagining of the classic fairy tale follows Hansel and Gretel as grown-up siblings who hunt witches for a living. Set in a dark, gritty world, the pair battles witches and uncovers deeper conspiracies surrounding their past. The movie had moderate success, especially overseas, prompting Paramount to announce plans for a sequel just months after its release. Writers and producers expressed excitement about raising the stakes for a follow-up, and Jeremy Renner showed interest in reprising his role. However, despite initial momentum, the continuation faltered. Director Tommy Wirkola, who had helmed the first, decided to step away from the project, stating he wanted to focus on new material. His departure, along with Renner’s uncertainty about returning without him, created an unstable foundation for the second part.</p>



<h2>The Golden Compass (2007)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHwMd_7ee27fad.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69763" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162431/AA1yHwMd.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162431/AA1yHwMd-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>The Golden Compass</em> revolves around Lyra Belacqua, a young girl on a dangerous journey to the North to rescue children kidnapped by the sinister Gobblers. Based on Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy, the film starred Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, and promised a sweeping fantasy adventure. Upon its release, director Chris Weitz planned to continue the story with adaptations of the second and third books, “The Subtle Knife” and “The Amber Spyglass.” However, the movie’s box office performance in the U.S. fell short of expectations, even though it did well internationally. Financial concerns, especially during the global recession, and pushback from groups like the Catholic Church, led New Line Cinema to place the sequels on hold. Despite the picture’s ambition, a second part never materialized, though “His Dark Materials” later found new life as a television reboot.</p>



<h2>The A-Team (2010)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHuq3_29e310f1.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69764" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162524/AA1yHuq3.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162524/AA1yHuq3-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Inspired by the beloved 1980s TV show, “The A-Team” follows a group of Special Forces soldiers who are framed for a crime they didn’t commit and must work together to clear their names. The film stars Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton Jackson, and Sharlto Copley, blending action and comedy as the team uses their unique skills to outsmart their enemies. Despite positive enthusiasm from the cast about returning for a follow-up, the movie didn’t generate enough revenue to justify continuing the adventure. Director Joe Carnahan also expressed interest in a second part, but poor box office performance led to the project being shelved. Liam Neeson later reflected on the flick’s complexities, admitting he struggled to follow the plot, which might have contributed to its lukewarm reception.</p>



<h2>The Lone Ranger (2013)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHsbW_139d4ff8.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69766" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162615/AA1yHsbW.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162615/AA1yHsbW-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>“The Lone Ranger” is a Western adventure that tells the story of John Reid, a lawman who becomes the masked vigilante known as the Lone Ranger, alongside his Native American companion Tonto. Together, they set out to bring justice to the Old West while facing off against ruthless villains. The film, directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, was intended to launch a franchise. However, despite its star-studded cast and big-budget spectacle, the title failed to impress both critics and audiences, underperforming at the box office. Bruckheimer had hoped for a sequel, but the picture’s disappointing performance led to those plans being abandoned.</p>



<h2>Green Lantern (2011)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHpCm_bcc933f2.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69767" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162733/AA1yHpCm.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162733/AA1yHpCm-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>“Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, a test pilot who is chosen to join the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic group tasked with maintaining peace in the universe. Armed with a powerful ring, Hal must face the destructive force of Parallax and learn to wield his newfound abilities. Warner Bros. had big expectations for this film, hoping it would kick off a successful superhero franchise in the DC universe. They even commissioned a script for a sequel while the first part was still being shot. The post-credits scene, featuring the rise of Sinestro as a corrupted villain, set the stage for future movies. However, the title’s lackluster reception both critically and at the box office led the studio to abandon the idea of a continuation, leaving the potential for a franchise unfulfilled.</p>



<h2>Speed Racer (2008)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHsci_0e9e8a8d.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69768" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162808/AA1yHsci.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162808/AA1yHsci-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>In “Speed Racer,” the story revolves around an 18-year-old racer who becomes involved in a larger conspiracy after he refuses a lucrative contract from a powerful industry tycoon. The vibrant and visually striking adaptation of the 1960s manga series by the Wachowskis stars Emile Hirsch as the titular character, with a notable supporting cast including Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox. Upon its release, the movie received mixed reviews, with praise for its innovative visual style but criticism for its storyline and pacing. Despite this, there was initial talk of a continuation, with cast and crew hinting at the potential for a sequel, even suggesting an overarching narrative that could be explored further. However, the underperformance at the box office meant that any hopes for a follow-up quickly faded, and the idea was eventually abandoned.</p>



<h2>The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="680" height="435" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250525_SPEN_69758_AA1yHupQ_66d0cfed.webp&amp;width=680&amp;height=435" alt="" class="wp-image-69769" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162932/AA1yHupQ.jpg 680w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/22162932/AA1yHupQ-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px"></figure><figcaption>IMDb</figcaption></figure>



<p>Set during the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” follows CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin as they reluctantly team up to thwart a criminal organization attempting to create nuclear weapons. Despite its charming performances and stylish direction by Guy Ritchie, the film struggled at the box office, and though a sequel seemed promising with the original cast members expressing interest, the planned follow-up never materialized.</p>

Movies That Were Supposed to Start Huge Franchises and Did Not

Movies That Were Supposed to Start Huge Franchises and Did Not - Spoiler US



        


<p>Horror fans are often frustrated when beloved films get dragged into endless prequels, sequels, spin-offs, and remakes. <strong>But “Final Destination” was practically born to keep going, </strong>each chapter finding new and gruesome ways to explore its core idea. That spirit is alive and kicking in “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” the sixth entry in the franchise, and one that’s making audiences cover their eyes for all the right reasons.</p>



<p>This time, the story follows a college student who inherits visions from her dying grandmother—visions linked to a near-disaster in 1968 that was narrowly avoided. When she learns that Death is coming for her family, the famous rhythm begins.<strong> The premonition hits, the tension builds, and the deaths unfold in the most unexpected ways.</strong> </p>



<p>With $124.2 million earned in just one week, the picture is already a massive box office success. As viewers leave theaters reeling, the big question hangs in the air: <strong>is there more to come from this deadly universe? </strong></p>



<h2>Is ‘Final Destination 7’ on the Horizon?</h2>



<p>The long gap between films, from 2011’s “Final Destination” 5 to 2025’s “Bloodlines,” <strong>led many to believe the franchise had finally run its course.</strong> Back then, fans recalled Tony Todd teasing that if the fifth part performed well, two more would be shot back-to-back. Despite that promise, years passed with no real movement, and the idea of a continuation began to fade from memory.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250524_SPEN_69845_Final-1024x576_a214e623.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-69846" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2025/05/23180352/Final.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tony Todd in “Final Destination: Bloodlines” (Source: IMDb)</figcaption></figure>



<p>That changed in January 2019 when New Line Cinema officially confirmed that a new installment was in development. Fast forward to now, and with “Bloodlines” out in the world, the big question is whether a seventh installment is on the horizon. The director of Bloodlines seems optimistic, telling The Direct that the story is far from over. <strong>“Death’s work is never done. There’s always more scores to settle,” </strong>he said, though he acknowledged the lengthy development process required to make it happen.</p>



<p>Producer Craig Perry also expressed interest in continuing the film series. He noted that “Bloodlines” has pushed the boundaries of what the series can be, opening the door to even more creative possibilities. With strong box office numbers and the best critical reception the franchise has seen so far, <strong>the chances of “Final Destination” returning again seem higher than ever.</strong></p>

Cannes 2025: The Films That Earned the Longest Standing Ovations

Creeping into Theaters: Six Horror Movies to Watch This Summer - Spoiler US



        


<p>Tom Cruise is renowned for performing all his own stunts, by his own insistence, no doubles are used. He is relentless in pursuit of the perfect take, often risking his life to capture the most authentic action scenes possible. Adrenaline might as well be his middle name.</p>



<h2>Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation</h2>



<p>In <em>Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation</em> (2015), Cruise performed a jaw-dropping stunt where he clung to the side of a military airplane during takeoff, at an altitude of 1,500 feet. He repeated the stunt eight times. His only safety measures were a harness and specially designed contact lenses to protect his eyes from intense wind pressure.</p>



<h2>Mission: Impossible – Fallout</h2>



<p>In <em>Mission: Impossible – Fallout</em> (2018), Cruise broke his ankle while leaping from one rooftop to another. He misjudged the landing, causing his ankle to twist violently. Remarkably, he continued running to finish the take before collapsing. Production was halted for six weeks to allow him to recover.</p>



<p>Another high-risk moment in <em>Fallout</em> saw Cruise speeding through the streets of Paris on a motorcycle without a helmet. This dangerous decision was made to maintain character continuity and raise the stakes of the sequence.</p>



<h2>Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning</h2>



<p>In <em>Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning</em>, one of the franchise’s most iconic stunts features Cruise riding a motorcycle off a cliff. After launching into the air, he had to deploy a parachute mid-fall. The scene was filmed multiple times, with the atmosphere on set described as electric with tension.</p>



<h2>Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning</h2>



<p>For <em>Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)</em>, Cruise filmed a scene inside a real submarine. During the sequence, he was breathing recycled carbon dioxide in a confined space, relying solely on the equipment he had on hand, which only allowed for ten minutes of safe use. The movie was just released today, May 23, 2025.</p>

<h2>The Matrix (1999)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250521_SPEN_69623_Meme4-1024x576_e1275d73.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-69629" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Keanu Reeves in “The Matrix” (Source: IMDb)</figcaption></figure>

<h2>Race to Witch Mountain (2009)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/spen/full/SPEN_20250521_SPEN_69623_Meme5-1024x576_4d65f889.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-69632" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>The Rock in “Race to Witch Mountain” (Source: IMDb)</figcaption></figure>



<p>The meme in which The Rock is driving comes from a scene in the 2009 family sci-fi movie “Race to Witch Mountain,” where the star plays a cab driver helping two alien kids evade government agents. The meme originates from a sequence where his character reacts with a startled, wide-eyed expression after one of the kids says something shocking from the back seat.</p>



<p>This meme has transcended the movie itself, largely because “Race to Witch Mountain,” like many of The Rock’s early films, has faded into obscurity. As a pop culture icon, he has appeared in so many generic action-comedy blockbusters that people often forget the exact context of his meme-worthy moments. This scene is a perfect example: it’s widely shared and remixed, but many who use it have never seen the movie.</p>
