Red One Was Supposed To Be Pure Amazon Release
Red One was initially scheduled for a direct release on Amazon Prime Video on Christmas 2023. However, it was later announced that it would come to theatres in November 2024, citing delays due to the 2023 WGA/SAG-Aftra strikes.
Now, the earnings of the Dwayne Johnson-starrer for its theatrical release would be considered extra cash, as it would have missed these collections completely if released only on the streaming platform.
Red One releasing in cinemas would also benefit Amazon Prime as it would generate more awareness and hype regarding the steaming-turned-theatrical movie among cine-goers. If it works well, the film can be premiered on the streaming platform later.
