Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s newest movie, Red One, opens in theaters nationwide today.
The movie, with a budget of a whopping $250 million, is directed by Jake Kasdan and also features Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, and J. K. Simmons in the leading roles.
The story revolves around Santa Claus, who has the code name of Red One, being kidnapped and the North Pole’s Head of Security, played by Johnson, must team up with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter, played by Evans, in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.
The movie was released internationally earlier this month and has a $28 million box office so far. Projections suggest that the movie will only do $30-$35 million this weekend when it opens in 4,032 theaters, which would be a big flop considering that budget.
Moviegoers and critics have not been kind to Red One, with websites giving it 36% score and an average 4.3 out of 10.
