The Santa kidnap movie, “Red One” is sinking like a Rock, The Rock.
“Red One” will make around $30 million for the weekend. It cost $250 million according to reports.
Dwayne “The Johnson” Rock stars along with Chris Evans, of Marvel fame, and the Flame from “Fantastic Four.” Jake Kasdan is the director.
But “Red One” has flamed out upon launch.
This is a complication for Amazon MGM which has “Red One” in 4,000 venues. But the $11 million on Thursday-Friday is a bad omen for the future unless “Red One” suddenly catches on during the holidays.
On the Upside, “Red One” is the only “hit” of the weekend. Everything else has been around a while.
More tomorrow…
