'Red One' Struggles at Box Office with $34M Debut Amid Mixed Reviews
The Christmas movie 'Red One,' starring The Rock and Chris Evans, has received a starkly divided reception, with a low 33% critic score but a high 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its $250 million budget, the film opened with $84 million globally, which is promising for a new Christmas IP. The Rock's popularity with audiences is evident, but the film's high production costs pose a challenge for profitability. The movie's success may hinge on positive word-of-mouth as the holiday season approaches.
