One of the major decisions that all the best streaming platforms need to make with any significant film is whether to give it a theatrical release. This question has led to fights between studios and filmmakers, as with the recent "Road House" remake. Sometimes movies that were planned for major theatrical releases, like Apple TV+’s Wolfs lose that release. But in the case of Dwayne Johnson’s Christmas movie "Red One," a film planned to go straight to streaming is now getting a theatrical debut.
Based on early projections, Amazon made the right call in deciding to give "Red One" a theatrical release, because Deadline reports that the film is currently looking at a $38 million opening weekend, which, while it may not sound like a lot, is actually a huge number when put into the proper context.
