- Weekend projections: Red One debuts with OK $34 million
The best that can be said for Red One’s opening this weekend is that it’s OK. As a slightly rare case of new IP, the film was a gamble, and if the rumors are true that it cost $250 million to make, plus another $100 million or so to market, then a $34-million domestic opening weekend leaves it deep in the red. On the other hand, crowds are loving it (much more than critics), and Amazon MGM Studios will have a movie to promote on Prime Video every Christmas for years to come. So the economics might work for the studio, and even a modest success is better than nothing for theater owners.
- Weekend predictions: Red One set to kick off the Holidays with moderate opening
Holiday Season kicks off in earnest this weekend with the arrival of action comedy Red One, starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. The film has all the hallmarks of a holiday hit: two A-list stars and a strong supporting cast, a novel take on a classic Christmas story, and a significant production and marketing budget. Given all that, an opening North of $50 million would be Amazon MGM Studios’ goal. It doesn’t look at though the film will hit those heights, but its performance so far points towards at least a decent opening.
