As a long-time fan of action movies and Christmas flicks, I must say that Red One has been quite an exciting rollercoaster ride for me! The star-studded cast featuring Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, and J.K. Simmons was enough to pique my interest, but the production issues and budget woes added an extra layer of intrigue.

The film titled “Red One” featuring the charismatic duo Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans is a festive action movie that continues to draw large crowds to cinemas. However, surprisingly, it will be available for streaming earlier than anticipated.

Title One: A Merry Misadventure centers around the story of Santa Claus (played by J.K. Simmons) being abducted. His security chief (Johnson) then joins forces with a resourceful bounty hunter (Evans) to locate Santa and rescue Christmas from impending doom.

The movie encountered numerous production troubles, with whispers about Dwayne Johnson consistently arriving late on set adding to the chaos, and the costs soaring to an estimated quarter-billion dollars, surpassing both Deadpool’s and Wolverine’s budgets.

Despite facing difficulties, Red One has managed to be a moderate success in theaters, and soon it will become available for streaming.

When is Red One streaming on Prime Video?

Red One drops on Amazon’s streaming platform on Thursday, December 12, 2024.

It’s unexpected because right now, the film is ranked fourth in the U.S. box office, suggesting there’s still potential for earning more money at the theater.

So far, Red One has earned approximately $164 million globally, trying to recoup a significant portion of its substantial production cost.

Despite receiving unfavorable reviews, with a score of 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems that word-of-mouth has been quite positive, as the movie has remained high in the box office rankings for the past month. However, its position has recently been overshadowed by films like Wicked and Moana 2.

In our two-star review for Red One at TopMob, we expressed that although it boasts an impressive cast and high production quality, there are brief instances of appeal. However, overall, it’s easily forgettable. If you plan to take your kids to watch it this holiday season, be prepared: it might just result in a rather blasé Christmas experience for you.

On Thursdays, you’ll have the option to either catch Red One in a movie theater or stream it from your own home on Prime Video. Additionally, here’s a rundown of this month’s fresh cinema releases, along with upcoming streaming premieres.
