Red One attracted a record-breaking 50 million worldwide viewers in just its opening weekend,* becoming Amazon MGM Studios' most-watched film debut ever on Prime Video.

'Given the audience response to Red One both in theaters and on Prime Video, the film will clearly be a perennial holiday favorite 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. With Red One, there was no doubt that strategy needed to include a theatrical release and associated marketing campaign, which drove audiences to theaters 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.
