While many critics didn\u2019t care for the action-adventure film, audiences felt the opposite and gave it an A- CinemaScore. Amazon originally intended to send the film straight to its streaming service Prime Video but gave it the big-screen treatment in hopes of providing a boost for exhibitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHeading into an otherwise quiet weekend, tracking showed the movie opening in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/box-office-preview-red-one-1236060213\/\">$30 million to $35 million<\/a> range domestically. Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing the Seven Bucks production overseas, where <em>Red One<\/em> opened to $28 million in order to avoid a direct showdown with Paramount\u2019s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/gladiator-ii\/\" id=\"auto-tag_gladiator-ii_1\" data-tag=\"gladiator-ii\">Gladiator II<\/a><\/em>, which is launching this weekend at the international box office a week ahead of its domestic debut. (Ridley Scott\u2019s <em>Gladiator<\/em> sequel could do as much as $80 million or more in its foreign bow.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<em>Red One<\/em>\u2018s box office performance will be closely monitored, considering it cost $250 million to make. A major legacy studio in the same situation would come under intense scrutiny if a film carrying that price tag opened to those numbers, but Amazon insists its business model is different and fueled by subscribers and not just box office. It\u2019s also counting on <em>Red One<\/em> to play throughout the year-end holidays and become a holiday classic for years to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tNevertheless, it would be a disappointment if it doesn\u2019t clear $30 million. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<em>Red One<\/em> is the first proper Christmas movie to play in theaters since before the pandemic when <em>The Grinch<\/em> opened in 2018.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe family-friendly pic follows what happens when Santa Claus \u2014 whose code name is \u201cRed One\u201d \u2014 is kidnapped and the North Pole\u2019s head of security (Johnson) must team up with the world\u2019s most infamous bounty hunter (Evans) in what Amazon MGM describes as a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDirected by Jake Kasdan from a screenplay by Chris Morgan and a story by Hiram Garcia, <em>Red One<\/em> also stars Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Wesley Kimmel and J.K. Simmons.
