Box Office: The WWE biopic has cracked $10 million, just shy of recouping its $11 million budget.

The poor marketing - which largely paints it as a generic underdog movie - and low-key visuals likely prevented it from breaking out theatrically, though it should perform much stronger on home video.

Verdict: One of 2019's most pleasant surprises so far, Fighting with My Family works within a familiar framework yet does a remarkable job differentiating itself thanks to the distinct weirdness of the WWE itself.

Elsewhere Florence Pugh makes for an effortlessly likeable lead, while Jack Lowden, Vince Vaughn and, yes, Dwayne Johnson, all provide strong support.

Towing the line between a broad story palatable for the masses and a movie that'll still satisfy hardcore WWE acolytes, this is a good deal funnier, wittier and even more affecting than just about anybody could've expected from WWE Studios.
