The film Red One, starring Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson, didn’t perform as well in theaters as hoped, but it’s now gaining popularity on streaming services. Both Evans and Johnson have become famous for their roles in movies, and interestingly, they’ve both played characters in superhero films – though from different universes.
Chris Evans is famous for playing Captain America in several of the most popular Marvel movies. Dwayne Johnson, meanwhile, recently starred as Black Adam in a leading role for DC. Reports suggest Evans will reprise his role as Steve Rogers in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, but Johnson’s future with DC films appears uncertain.
In 2024, stars from Marvel and DC teamed up for the action comedy Red One. Dwayne Johnson plays the head of security at the North Pole, and he partners with hacker Jack O’Malley, played by Chris Evans, to find Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons). The movie is now a popular streaming success, currently ranking as the 8th most popular film worldwide on HBO Max, according to data from FlixPatrol.
The fact that Red One is doing well on streaming is good news, considering the movie didn’t earn enough money in theaters to cover its costs. With a reported budget of a massive $250 million, Red One would have needed to make between $500 and $625 million in ticket sales just to break even.
Even with a talented cast, the Christmas action comedy Red One struggled in theaters, earning only $186 million worldwide and costing the studio a significant amount of money. Fortunately, the film is now finding success as a popular streaming title, and its viewership is expected to continue growing.
People are starting to watch Red One on HBO Max, and it’s quickly becoming popular as the holidays approach. It’s already the eighth most-watched movie on the platform as of November, suggesting the Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson film will likely become even more of a streaming success when December begins.
It’s common for people to rewatch classic Christmas movies during the holidays, like Home Alone and Love Actually. The new film Red One seems to be a hit with viewers – it currently has an 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes – although critics haven’t been as impressed, giving it a score of just 30%. Because audiences are enjoying it, Red One has the potential to become popular on streaming platforms.
