Red One does not fail to surprise the exhibitors as it collects winning numbers on the second Friday; such is the power of Dwayne Johnson. The film is close to hitting the first significant milestone at the US box office and is also heading for a major milestone at the worldwide box office. Scroll below for the deets.
The movie was initially scheduled to be released on Prime Video worldwide in time for Christmas last year, but the film suffered because of the Hollywood strikes. Therefore, the makers decided to release it in theatres to make up for the production budget before releasing it on digital platforms. It is already setting records for a Big Tech streaming turned theatrical release. The film is said to be the first of a Christmas-themed franchise. Besides The Rock, it also features Chris Evans in the lead-adjacent role. Evans is best known for playing Captain America in the MCU.
