Triumphant: Dwayne Johnson’s Blockbuster Shatters $150M Milestone Amidst Moana 2 & Wicked Frenzy
Dwayne Johnson’s action-comedy “Red One” has achieved a significant milestone by hitting the $150 million mark worldwide at the box office, despite its numerous challenges and initial plans for an OTT release. Originally slated for a streaming debut on Prime Video, the film’s release strategy shifted to theaters due to unforeseen delays. Featuring Chris Evans alongside Johnson, “Red One” emerged as a substantial success during the Thanksgiving weekend, surprisingly outperforming Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon,” which starred Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby.
Trade analyst Luiz Fernando reports that even in its fifth weekend, “Red One” garnered $3.5 million internationally across 75 markets, showing a mere 30% decline despite competition from major films like “Moana 2” and “Wicked.” Its international earnings total $78.2 million thus far. In the U.S., the film collected a robust $7.01 million over a weekend from 3,150 locations, pushing its domestic cumulative earnings to $85.8 million.
The film’s global earnings have now reached $164 million, with projections suggesting a potential finish between $180 million and $200 million. Despite minimal investment in marketing from Amazon, the company behind its release, the film’s theatrical success can be largely attributed to Dwayne Johnson’s star appeal.
The decision to release “Red One” in theaters rather than exclusively on streaming platforms seems to have paid off, with the movie becoming the second highest-grossing film of its kind in the United States. Released in theaters on November 15, the film’s unexpected box office triumph demonstrates the enduring allure of big-screen spectacle and star power.
