What kind of watch this is
Seth Gordon directs a 116-minute comedy action crime film where a lifeguard and a new recruit clash before uncovering a criminal plot. Dwayne Johnson plays Mitch Buchanan, while Zac Efron is Matt Brody. Priyanka Chopra Jonas appears as Victoria Leeds. The tagline reads, Don't worry, summer is coming. It is a loud, sun-bleached mess of a movie.
How it did with audiences
Baywatch opened with $18.5 million, finishing third behind Pirates of the Caribbean and Guardians of the Galaxy. It dropped 52.5% in its second weekend. The film grossed $58.1 million in North America and $119.8 million internationally, totaling $177.9 million against a $69 million budget. On TMDB, users rate it 6.1 out of 10.
What came next for the cast
Dwayne Johnson kept the momentum from the Fast & Furious franchise, trading one high-octane action vehicle for another like Jumanji and Hobbs & Shaw. Zac Efron pivoted toward grittier, more serious roles such as The Iron Claw, a notable shift from the lighter comedies of his earlier career. Alexandra Daddario moved into prestige television with The White Lotus, leaving behind the big-budget disaster films of her previous run. These trajectories suggest distinct directions, though the credits alone cannot prove the 2017 film caused the change.
