Red One is officially on the nice list!
Red One has attracted a record-breaking 50 million worldwide viewers in its opening weekend, becoming Amazon MGM Studios’ most-watched film debut ever on Prime Video.
“Given the audience response to Red One both in theatres and on Prime Video, the film will be a perennial holiday favourite for years to come,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios.
“Every film is different, and we are so grateful for the partnership with our filmmakers in collectively finding the right strategy to get this film in front of the widest possible audience.”
Jennifer said that with Red One, there was no doubt that strategy needed to include a theatrical release and associated marketing campaign, which drove audiences to theatres and generated awareness for the film with viewers who would ultimately tune in on Prime Video.
“It’s rewarding to see our plan pay off for customers, and we are incredibly thankful to the entire filmmaking team and cast who helped make it happen.”
Red One, which is still playing globally on the big screen on over 3,000 screens in North America and 3,300 screens internationally, stars Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Wesley Kimmel, and J.K. Simmons.
Jake Kasdan directed the film from a screenplay by Chris Morgan. The record-breaking success of Red One, which received an A- CinemaScore and is maintaining a 90 percent Verified Hot rating on Rotten Tomatoes’ Popcornmeter, caps off a phenomenal year for the studio.
