Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans Christmas Flick ‘Red One’ Becomes the Most-Watched Prime Video Film Debut Ever

As of December 15, 2024, Red One has grossed $92.5 million in the United States and Canada and $83 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $175.5 million.

In the United States and Canada, Red One was projected to gross $30–35 million from 4,032 theaters, with some independent sources predicting a debut as low as $25 million or as high as $40 million. The film made $10.9 million on its first day, including $3.7 million from Sunday and Thursday night previews. It debuted to $32.1 million, topping the box office.

In its second box office weekend, the film dropped 59% to $13.3 million, finishing in third behind newcomers Wicked and Gladiator II.

After a somewhat disappointing box office run, Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans’s Christmas flick found its new (another, you could say, as it is still showing in some theaters) home on Amazon Prime.

According to Amazon, the Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans Christmas movie Red One pulled in 50 million viewers worldwide during its opening weekend on Prime Video (over four days), making it the most-watched film debut ever for Amazon MGM Studios on the streaming platform.

Red One, which is still showing in theaters worldwide with over 3,000 screens in North America and 3,300 internationally, also features Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Wesley Kimmel, and J.K. Simmons.

The film was directed by Jake Kasdan, and the screenplay was written by Chris Morgan. It was produced by Hiram Garcia, Dwayne Johnson, and Dany Garcia from Seven Bucks Productions, Chris Morgan from Chris Morgan Productions, and Kasdan and Melvin Mar from The Detective Agency.

The PG-13 holiday action comedy follows Johnson as Callum Drift, the head of North Pole security, who reluctantly teams up with Chris Evans’ mischievous hacker Jack O’Malley to rescue a kidnapped Santa Claus before Christmas.
