The theatres are busy with some of the biggest movies of the year, from Gladiator II to Wicked and now Moana 2. Dwayne Johnson’s Red One opened with mixed reviews and could be said to be the weakest among the lot, yet it is performing well at the box office in North America. It has now beaten Ridley Scott’s Napoleon’s domestic haul with its Thanksgiving Day collection. Scroll below for more.
Scott’s film was released in 2023, starring Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role. The movie follows the chequered rise and fall of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife, Josephine [played by Vanessa Kirby]. It underperformed at the box office, and now Dwayne’s comedy action flick has surpassed Scott’s film.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Red One collected an astonishing $3 million on Thanksgiving Day, a magnificent hike of 149% from last Thursday. It registered the biggest 2nd Thursday ever for a Big Tech streaming-turned-taster release, beating Killers of the Flower Moon’s $1 million. Dwayne Johnson’s movie reached a $63.2 million cume at the North American box office.
