Dwayne Johnson's 'Red One' Aims for Box Office Glory Amid Mixed Reviews
TL;DR Summary
Dwayne Johnson's Christmas action-comedy 'Red One' is projected to earn $30-$35 million in its opening weekend from 4,032 locations, though estimates vary from $25 million to $40 million. Despite its $250 million production cost, Amazon MGM views theatrical releases as a way to attract talent and generate buzz for Prime Video, rather than solely focusing on box office success. The film, directed by Jake Kasdan, has received poor reviews, with a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but is expected to top the domestic box office as the only new release this weekend.
