Dwayne Johnson's 'Red One' Struggles with $34M Opening on $250M Budget
Red One, a Christmas-themed film starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, topped a lackluster weekend box office with $34 million, despite its $250 million budget. The film's performance highlights the different stakes for streaming platforms like Amazon, which can offset losses through ads and merchandise. Meanwhile, Venom: The Last Dance fell to second place with $7 million, as overall box office revenues continue to decline, down 11% from 2023 and 27% from 2019.
