Red One, the Christmas action-comedy starring The Rock and Chris Evans, is generating buzz thanks to positive pre-release viewer commentary despite one very starkly bad take. The general hope is to launch another Amazon-based movie mega-franchise around its current star. The premise blends classic Christmas elements with action-packed adventure about kidnap, bounty hunters even having mythic themes also like a fit and strong Santa Claus played by an equally pumped, ripped J.K. Simmons.

While one reaction even calls Red One "pure Christmas magic". Others noted funny writing and strong visuals adding even “emotional” performance. However not every professional thought the blend worked with even a less positive opinion calling it "unfunny" and a "waste of talent." All this discussion seems on trend even since initial discussions for Amazon about creating franchise level streaming around the rock after he first committed in a big $200M commitment alongside one of Marvel films biggest earners too. Like how early Amazon's announcements and discussion all hinted major investment for top level stars - all since first noted last year from The Verge around these developments in that streaming segment competition as well for top viewers.

Beyond professional reaction, plenty discussion seems already there all around fan expectations of Johnson, always being the core and having strong pull, alone.

Early indications from Deadline and box office Mojo that even Amazon had shifted original plans from making the original release fully only steaming content from its main property to something that at the minimum has had a cinema release. As fans who follow such box office business sites will already understand usually even digital or streaming release also happens later still to allow theater and venue specific showing to maximize revenue at this time since cinema and all related marketing remains a different model from purely at-home streaming options that also cater directly.

Despite varying opinions now, its box office target by pre-release trackers sees a potential opening above ~$30m and possibly as high as the $35m level with even better traction beyond there despite already significant recent major holiday season studio releases around similar and familiar genres with fantasy based animation around recent "Moana II" sequel for the holiday family segment along with musicals for holiday music needs with current "Wicked" hitting those audiences.

Amazon plans additional Red One releases beyond theaters, given all projections since the start about a cross-property release from beginning so fans not as likely to enjoy cinema release options may enjoy streaming-exclusive viewing sometime soon.
