As a seasoned film critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless blockbuster movies. The latest addition to this ever-evolving landscape is Amazon MGM Studios’ “Red One,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans.
The highly anticipated Amazon Studios film, “Red One,” starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is set to hit Amazon’s stream earlier than anticipated following a one-month run in cinemas. Despite the impressive cast, this blockbuster holiday movie fell short of impressing both critics and audiences during its theatrical release. Even with November being an exceptionally successful month for cinema, “Red One” struggled to fill theater seats. However, it still has a dedicated fanbase that’s eagerly awaiting its streaming debut, which is expected to make a much more significant impact in the world of streaming sooner rather than later.
The movie titled “Red One” is set to premiere on Amazon’s Prime Video this coming Thursday, 12th December 2024. Given its lackluster performance at the box office following a brief theater run, it appears that the film will be making its way to the streaming platform earlier than initially expected. With global earnings of $163 million against a production budget of $250 million, “Red One” is struggling to recoup its costs. The Prime Video release might help increase viewership, particularly during the holiday season peak, but there’s still a substantial audience to reach – even Santa might find that challenging!
Following the abduction of Santa Claus, who goes by the codename RED ONE, the Chief Security Officer at the North Pole, played by Dwayne Johnson, joins forces with the notorious global bounty hunter, Chris Evans, on a thrilling, worldwide adventure to rescue Christmas.
Could ‘Red One’ Find Its Stride This Christmas Season?
Even though Red One received a 31% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, it has an astounding 90% audience rating on Popcornmeter. Additionally, it earned an impressive A- CinemaScore, which is often a reliable indicator of overall viewer satisfaction. Regrettably, this positive feedback didn’t translate into box office success. The film had tough competition from other blockbuster releases in November, but it seems the public wasn’t eager to watch it. However, viewers will be compensated as it becomes available on Prime Video this week at no additional cost. Those hoping for a sequel may have a lengthy wait ahead.
There’s a good chance that Red One will receive the widespread affection it craves on the streaming platform. However, the influence of star power today is undeniable, particularly in determining who qualifies as a contemporary film star capable of drawing crowds to movie theaters. The collaboration between Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in a Christmas film, following their appearances in numerous blockbuster series, was expected to generate significant revenue. Surprisingly, the absence of well-known intellectual properties and an extravagant budget has Amazon hoping that Prime Video can prevent it from becoming forgotten. Remarkably, Red One may become the most-viewed streaming movie within a week, due to its popularity.
