Box Office: ‘Red One’ Has Itself a Fairly Little Opening Day With $10.9 Million
Amazon's Christmas film 'Red One,' with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is looking at a weekend of $30 million, on a $250 million budget.
That’s not exactly a jolly result for a special-effects adventure playing premium large format auditoriums and sporting a whopping $250 million production budget, plus sizable marketing costs. Unless the Seven Bucks production can stay relevant among the blitz of “Wicked,” “Gladiator II” and “Moana 2” arriving ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, it seems unlikely that “Red One” will see green in its theatrical run. Additionally, “Red One” was originally commissioned as a Prime Video exclusive before Amazon added a wide release, so any box office profits are presumably just extra stocking stuffers to the company.
