@Looper I didnt watch it, I might enjoy it, but it doesn't look like one of those hokiday movies that will go over as a "timeless" classic. There's certain criteria and this movie doesn't fulfill it, thus people may walk away disappointed
it wasn't done to amuse audiences. It was done to assure the Rock's ego and paycheck were warm and happy. Any audience member can feel that, it's tangible.
I was going to post almost the same thing. There is no such thing as superhero fatigue. There are just bad productions that happen to involve superheroes. How can I be so sure? Because most superhero fans can rewatch and enjoy many of the Marvel movies still today. There were a few less-than-stellar Marvel movies that won't be rewatched, but that's because they pale in comparison to the others; not because of superhero fatigue. Superhero Fatigue is just the label that studios such as Disney attach to their bad productions.
@@dylansharp8471 I think there is a level of objectivity. If you watch Pacific Rim and think it is a good movie, that's okay. Then, when you watch Atlantic Rim and say it is awful, you will know why.
Yeah, like eating Mcdonald's everday. Fun for a week or so and then you're already sick and tired of it. This formula worked for "Dwayne" for a while, but now people just getting bored.
@@SicKno-i5rlol. The Rock thinks he's In & Out, where every time is the first time you ever have it and it never gets old. Long story short, he's actually Mcdonalds
I agree. Morbius would've been better if they moved it away from the Spiderman version and moved it towards the ghost rider/ blade/ midnight sons version. Then they could've gone darker into the horror aspect like it deserved. This is why I hate the Spiderman movies. They're too kid friendly and filled with whiny characters
I'm sick of that cop out. Deadpool was phenomenal. GotG 3, same. Everything else was meh. I've watched every marvel movie over and over, I have like 2 after End Game I can do that with. There is NO FATIGUE. I have a feeling Gunn in DC will make that evident.
the idea that The Rock saw Oppenheimer in IMAX and decided that his silly "Santa gets kidnapped" Christmas movie deserved equivalent treatment is the funniest thing I've heard all week
Nolan films are sucessful because they have a good plot, with no politics. They star actors who are generally professional and it's a CHRISTOPHER NOLAN film. A guy who can get a billion dollars to make a movie just by asking because it will return twice as much because he's an amazing acclaimed director. My favorite movie is still Dunkirk, but my first movie I ever saw that drew me in was Inception. Saw that movie 3 or 4 times in theaters.
@ALightThroughTheDarkness The weird thing about Nolan is that his first movie was a bomb. While I that it was a good movie, it is where as good as his recent ones.
I honestly never heard of Red One until about a week ago when I saw an ad on social media. I watched the trailer and thought it was coming to a streaming service. When I realized it was releasing in theaters I was shocked. The movie looks generic and made for tv
@@busybodybaronessNah. The Rock has dropped movies back to back to back. He literally drops 2 movies per year. He needs to take notes from Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, etc. They drop a movie once in a blue moon make their money and disappear. The Rock and his management seem to have no self awareness and just money hungry. The writing is on the wall but they refuse to see it.
The Polar Express originally came out on November 10th, 2004 & that movie's 1 of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time. It even gets re-released in theaters every year since it 1st came out, mostly in IMAX 3D.
The last movie that re-imagined Santa as a tough man was Rise of the Guardians. Which actually did fairly well critically and is now regarded by many today as a holiday classic, but still ended up being an 87-million dollar loss for DreamWorks. And these nitwits thought they could find success by doing the exact same thing, only with twice as big of a budget, half the humor and one tenth the charm? Gee, who could have seen this coming?
When you can get a 75" tv for a few hundred bucks, and many people are opting for 98" or greater. Movies have to be special now. Especially with the price of tickets.
I completely disagree. Yes people are busier with stuff at home but I think a mix of poor reviews, bad marketing, theaters being expensive to go to and "The Rock" fatigue added up to not a lot of interest in the movie. I personally think it would have preformed badly even if they waited a weekend or two.

It bombed because a christmas movie, to be successful and even a classic, has to have heart, wit, humor, and re-watchability. It also has to have a plot that's timeless and somewhat relatable, and characters we can relate to or just like.
Imagine if they took the $200 million they spent on this and gave $2 million to 100 young independent directors to fund their first feature film. How many amazing unique movies we’d get. Instead we get one giant nothing burger.
Yep. And of those 100 movies, a few might have been surprise hits. The Hollywood execs need to understand that people are actually drawn to original ideas and filmmakers with a vision and are tired of focus-group pap.
If you watch it on streaming you can watch it numerous times. If you go to a theater you pay a lot of money just to walk through the door. Then if you want to go again, pay more? Too expensive. As far as movie critics, I really don't pay attention to them. They are biased .They only like certain genres anyway. I haven't seen the movie yet.

@@tapinewoods3937 I have so much respect for Nicolas Cage and Bruce Willis for that matter. They took any and every role available.

I do not think The Rock loves acting or being in film like they do. They treat it like it is a privilege to be in films.

@@Swordagrim very good point. But they had their run and they took on some questionable projects towards the end of their runs. I think the Rock is doing that now. People love to see larger than life. But when they see it too often, its no longer larger than life and get board. His name doesnt sell like it used to.
The big budget blockbusters need to go altogether for a while. There is such a ridiculous overreliance on CGI for years now. Especially after the pandemic people are just not going to movies like they used to. We need to get to more practical effects and focus on acting and actual script writing. There is such a laziness now when it comes to that. I do think that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be a smash success next month but after that I judt dont see how you justify risking 200 plus million on any film moving forward if you are these studio's
The movie had a bunch of issues; but The Santa Clause Delivery scene was the best I’ve seen since the Santa Clause with Tim Allen. I had a LOT of fun with it .
So you're saying he's a typical action star. Most muscular action stars basically play the same role in every one of their movies. It never hurt Arnold, Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, etc.
Why don't reviewers address the snowman in the living room? Dwayne Johnson can't act. He is also in so many films that he is living the Jude Law experience, being in too many movies that don't matter, but adding that Johnson is boring when he isn't moving and insufferable when he is talking.
I agree that The Rock is definitely not a good actor for sure but I think also that can be forgiven to an extent if your heart is in the right place. I compared Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage to The Rock and what I think separates them from him. I think they look at acting as a true privilege while The Rock takes it all for granted. Willis and Cage were definitely in countless movies many of which you never heard of and some of the worst scripts you have ever seen. They do it because they truly love it. The Rock does not and it shows.
@@bryanmahoney3434 i request you hollywood guys and movie lovers to take Dwayne Johnson forever because i don't want that egomaniac idiot to take another wrestler's deserving main event spot.
It “bombed” cause of timing(not coming out in December), the trailer looked overly campy, and they didn’t have a lot of faith in it(didn’t promote it well). Clearly this was a bomb that was made to be a fun famliy run and came out a little too early cause it didn’t want to take on sonic 3.
I think it flopped because of what the Rock said, comparing this Christmas movie to Oppenheimer and people taking it the wrong way. He didn’t mean in terms of context but the critical response. He doesn’t realize how bad the public perceives him now and his choice in words should be carefully selected nowadays.
I’m shocked this didn’t flop more honestly.. it’s a month early from Christmas, the Rocks whole shtick is annoying to many now and the trailers looked horrendous 💀
The budget WAS insane! That's part of the problem with movies like this flopping hard. They just go out of control. One the other hand we have a completely different type of holiday movie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, produced on the mere 10 million dollar budget, that, while not a huge hit, has been a moderate success, and most who have seen that movie have loved it.
I think the issue with Red One is that people know its going to be on streaming services before christmas, Why pay the extra cash when you can just wait for it? me and my sister want to see it but we said "lets wait til its on streaming" Also Superhero fatigue isnt a thing, its so annoying when people say it, Deadpool and Wolverine did well because it gave its audience exactly what people wanted, a well written story about a character we love! Madame Web didnt do well because its a spider man universe character without spider man, also Madame Web isnt a very popular character and the story sucked. The Marvels didnt do well because it was about a character that only did well in her first movie because it was sandwiched between two big avengers movies, and The Marvels didnt really feel like it had anything to do with the MCUs current story of Kang, which at the time was the next big bad. Second Joker movie didnt do well because they changed Harley Quinn first off, and it was a musical, plus the directors have said they didnt want to do the movie so they made it bad so they wouldnt get asked for a 3rd. Which sucks because I liked the first Joker, but lets face it, at the minute DC movies do bad because no one knows whats going on with the DCEU as a whole. I enjoyed Black Adam, but the whole movie your wondering "ok so where does this tie in with The Flash, and Superman? will they make a cameo?" well thats my rant over haha.
Thank you. Opening BO for movies released around Xmas can be eratic. It's hard to predict the fooliwing days' BO. Unlike Thanksgiving, Xmas and NY land on different days of the week each year.Thee Xmas holidays span up to 12 days versus Thanksgining with just four. Both Avatars starting out slowly and were released around Xmas.
I never understood why the rock became a thing. Let alone a “movie star” I wouldn’t even waste time streaming this for free in my house as background while I do stuff around the house let alone go to the movies. My kids don’t want to see it nor my wife. Who went to see this is the better question as to why it flopped.
I think red one, like a lot of modern-day Christmas movies fail because Christmas has been reduced to a background character and it's just an afterthought in these movies.
my sister took the kids to see it since they love the rock with drinks and popcorn it was $100 for the three of them, she said the theater was empty except for them they made it through almost an hour when the kids insisted they hated the movie and they left, if its so bad super fans and the girls are that wanted to leave that said it all to me.
Worldwide its at 88 million, might have been a bit early for the release but after Thanksgiving it can possibly skyrocket since it's a family holiday movie. If a holiday movie came out on Christmas it wouldn't make sense because after Christmas people wouldn't want to go see a Christmas movie. People forget that theatrical movies usually run around a month. So releasing around or after Thanksgiving is prime release for a holiday movie.
Sometimes people get tired of certain actors and their one trick pony performances. It seems like that's what is happening with Dwayne Johnson right now. Superhero fatigue combined with Dwayne Johnson fatigue.
Here in Britain it's been well over a week since this was released before I finally had time to go and see it, and the theatre I was in was the busiest I can remember for a very long time, and you can bet I wasn't the only one laughing out loud at times.
Putting that type of budget behind a Christmas themed movie was the worst decision. The Rock tends to overestimate his star power...like people will watch anything if he is in it. Christmas movies rarely do that well in general but trying to recoup a $250+ budget? Highly unlikely
From the preview it looks like the Krampus scene is the only highlight. I can wait to see this at home whenever it’s on streaming. Even if it’s AFTER Christmas. Plenty of movies to watch til then
I took my boys to it they wanted to see it because of Santa and they both loved it, it was a decent action movie something new so it honestly isn't as bad as a lot of ppl are saying. A lot of haters out there that haven't even seen it just hating on it. Go watch it before you judge it. It isn't anything crazy good but it's a good action movie for what it is
The Rock sucks, his character even destroyed the Fast and Furious franchise!, when he joined the franchise, the super hero storyline and characters literally started... 🤦♂️😬🤦♂️
"Jungle Cruise" is a good movie. The only negative is the producers thinking that you can put Dwayne Johnson in a romantic part. That doesn't work _at all_ But absent that, it's pretty good. The pacing is great, which is the key to a good adventure movie.
Well, people are going home for the holidays and probably would want a family-friendly movie with enough action for the teens and beefcake for Grandma. Red One might do well next week. Now I want to see how Gladiator 2 does. I am excited!
It's more on rock being everywhere then the fatigue of his acting. It happens to most popular actors they are the box office face to slowly not anymore.
When I first saw the trailer to red one I thought it was going to be streaming only. Another thing Moana 2 coming the same as the red one is almost like the movie It Ends With Us coming out the same time as Deadpool And Wolverine
I want to point something else out that nobody is talking about. Look at Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage as opposed to The Rock. Those guys took any and every role available. Some of the worst scripts you have ever seen. Some films better than others especially as they aged in the industry. What I think endeared them is that they truly love what they do. They look at acting and being in films like it is a privilege. The Rock to me takes it for granted. I think that story with Ryan Reynolds on the set of Red Notice severely damaged The Rock's reputation in Hollywood. I think it confirmed suspicions many had about the fallout with Vin Diesel. I think people see The Rock as selfish that takes the entertainment industry for granted and the people are turning on him fierce. Its a perception that he exudes that the people are turning against
Im would guess that most of the comments are from people who didnt see it. Was it an A+ movie? No but it was fun, exciting and funny. I took my daughter and sheoved it, rhats all that matters to me. Will definitely watch it again when it streams.
I feel Evans is just cruising along and taking roles that seem fun to him which is completely fine because we all know how good he can be in his roles. Rock here however, does seem to make people go the other way when his name comes up in a film these days.
As someone who is retired, I'll check it out in the theaters. It will be a matinee and I will probably be one of a few people in the theaters... just how I like it. I have expectations that it will be fun, and I am sure it will meet that expectation.
The reason why this has flopped is because they released it part way through November. Now they've got no chance of it making money in December because even if its a good film, everyone will think it sucks now.
Why the movie bombed ? Simple .. cause the Rock in it .. every time i saw him in a movie .. i only see Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the Rock .. he can't act .. Dave Batista is a better actor than him, period .
Rock was like: “Uuuu, you know what?! I’m going to get Marvel superhero movies (because they’re in demand), add a Christmas theme-because it always sells-and mix all this together. Plus, I’m gonna be in it! Of course, it will work. Jesus Christ, I think I just created the best freaking milking machine. OMG, I’m a genius. You’re too good, buddy. Oh yeah, looking goooood, baby!” (His ego staring at the mirror.) Some things get old, even you Rock! go away with dignity, whatever is left in there
1) it came out before Thanksgiving, for crying out loud 2) no marketing. Like, I’d never heard of it ‘til now 3) feels more like a streaming at home kind of movie. In fact, I suspect it will do well in that way
Why do you think "Red One" flopped?
@Looper I didnt watch it, I might enjoy it, but it doesn't look like one of those hokiday movies that will go over as a "timeless" classic. There's certain criteria and this movie doesn't fulfill it, thus people may walk away disappointed

I do think that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be a smash success next month but after that I judt dont see how you justify risking 200 plus million on any film moving forward if you are these studio's
The movie had a bunch of issues; but The Santa Clause Delivery scene was the best I’ve seen since the Santa Clause with Tim Allen. I had a LOT of fun with it .
I think people are just fed up of the rock in every single movie playing the same character everytime.
Is it because people are sick and tired of seeing Dwayne Johnson play the Rock in every movie he does?
So you're saying he's a typical action star. Most muscular action stars basically play the same role in every one of their movies. It never hurt Arnold, Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, etc.
Why don't reviewers address the snowman in the living room? Dwayne Johnson can't act. He is also in so many films that he is living the Jude Law experience, being in too many movies that don't matter, but adding that Johnson is boring when he isn't moving and insufferable when he is talking.
I agree that The Rock is definitely not a good actor for sure but I think also that can be forgiven to an extent if your heart is in the right place. I compared Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage to The Rock and what I think separates them from him. I think they look at acting as a true privilege while The Rock takes it all for granted. Willis and Cage were definitely in countless movies many of which you never heard of and some of the worst scripts you have ever seen. They do it because they truly love it. The Rock does not and it shows.
He can act better than you.
@@bryanmahoney3434 i request you hollywood guys and movie lovers to take Dwayne Johnson forever because i don't want that egomaniac idiot to take another wrestler's deserving main event spot.
Jude law take so many breaks and does movies after 3 years
@@bryanmahoney3434I definitely wouldn't compare the rock to Bruce Willis or nick cage
No such thing as superhero fatigue. Only really, really badly made superhero movies...
It “bombed” cause of timing(not coming out in December), the trailer looked overly campy, and they didn’t have a lot of faith in it(didn’t promote it well).
Clearly this was a bomb that was made to be a fun famliy run and came out a little too early cause it didn’t want to take on sonic 3.
You included the one Tyson punch that had me hoping for the fight, only for Tyson to realize he was supposed to not win.
I think it flopped because of what the Rock said, comparing this Christmas movie to Oppenheimer and people taking it the wrong way. He didn’t mean in terms of context but the critical response. He doesn’t realize how bad the public perceives him now and his choice in words should be carefully selected nowadays.
It doesn’t look that bad tbh but a movie would need to be really special to get me to go to a theater
I’m shocked this didn’t flop more honestly.. it’s a month early from Christmas, the Rocks whole shtick is annoying to many now and the trailers looked horrendous 💀
They better put Dwayne on the thumbnail and not Chris Evans😂😂
The budget WAS insane! That's part of the problem with movies like this flopping hard. They just go out of control. One the other hand we have a completely different type of holiday movie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, produced on the mere 10 million dollar budget, that, while not a huge hit, has been a moderate success, and most who have seen that movie have loved it.
I think the issue with Red One is that people know its going to be on streaming services before christmas, Why pay the extra cash when you can just wait for it?
me and my sister want to see it but we said "lets wait til its on streaming"
Also Superhero fatigue isnt a thing, its so annoying when people say it, Deadpool and Wolverine did well because it gave its audience exactly what people wanted, a well written story about a character we love! Madame Web didnt do well because its a spider man universe character without spider man, also Madame Web isnt a very popular character and the story sucked. The Marvels didnt do well because it was about a character that only did well in her first movie because it was sandwiched between two big avengers movies, and The Marvels didnt really feel like it had anything to do with the MCUs current story of Kang, which at the time was the next big bad.
Second Joker movie didnt do well because they changed Harley Quinn first off, and it was a musical, plus the directors have said they didnt want to do the movie so they made it bad so they wouldnt get asked for a 3rd. Which sucks because I liked the first Joker, but lets face it, at the minute DC movies do bad because no one knows whats going on with the DCEU as a whole. I enjoyed Black Adam, but the whole movie your wondering "ok so where does this tie in with The Flash, and Superman? will they make a cameo?"
well thats my rant over haha.
I agree with all of that!
Thank you.
Opening BO for movies released around Xmas can be eratic. It's hard to predict the fooliwing days' BO.
Unlike Thanksgiving, Xmas and NY land on different days of the week each year.Thee Xmas holidays span up to 12 days versus Thanksgining with just four.
Both Avatars starting out slowly and were released around Xmas.
I never understood why the rock became a thing. Let alone a “movie star” I wouldn’t even waste time streaming this for free in my house as background while I do stuff around the house let alone go to the movies. My kids don’t want to see it nor my wife. Who went to see this is the better question as to why it flopped.
I think red one, like a lot of modern-day Christmas movies fail because Christmas has been reduced to a background character and it's just an afterthought in these movies.
For the last time Die Hard is a Christmas movie.😎
😅😅😅😅
Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
A Christmas movie ❌
THE Christmas movie✅
@@daudimasinde6280 🤣
It was released in mid July, so, NOT a Christmas Movie.
I don't see corporate Santa with private security operatives as a particularly ettractive concept.
my sister took the kids to see it since they love the rock with drinks and popcorn it was $100 for the three of them, she said the theater was empty except for them they made it through almost an hour when the kids insisted they hated the movie and they left, if its so bad super fans and the girls are that wanted to leave that said it all to me.
My hunch is the initial popcorn rating on some movies are juiced up by people associated with the movie staff
I think it didn't do well because people are tired of seeing the Rock.
Please let this be his suburban commando.
Suburban Commando was the ultimate guilty pleasure.
idk about you guys but the rock is an instant skip for me
No matter what people say, Red One is still my new favorite Christmas movie 🎄✊
My mother's mother is Palestinian, and my mother's father is Blackfoot Chief Death, I am also Chief, 🤬 WAR
Worldwide its at 88 million, might have been a bit early for the release but after Thanksgiving it can possibly skyrocket since it's a family holiday movie. If a holiday movie came out on Christmas it wouldn't make sense because after Christmas people wouldn't want to go see a Christmas movie. People forget that theatrical movies usually run around a month. So releasing around or after Thanksgiving is prime release for a holiday movie.
Wicked will put Red One out of its misery.
Most of us are too broke in this thriving economy to take the family to the movies.
Did the audience not smell what the Rock was cooking?
Because it looks like a straight to streaming movie
The Rock needs to stop acting the Rock, i like him as an actor, but he should try another character
The Rock needs to make more movies like "Faster".
Sometimes people get tired of certain actors and their one trick pony performances. It seems like that's what is happening with Dwayne Johnson right now. Superhero fatigue combined with Dwayne Johnson fatigue.
Oh cool. We can now watch it on Prime Video in a few weeks.
Why don't you come over and watch it with me? I'll cook
Here in Britain it's been well over a week since this was released before I finally had time to go and see it, and the theatre I was in was the busiest I can remember for a very long time, and you can bet I wasn't the only one laughing out loud at times.
I won't go see it at the movies because im poor. But I will stream it when it hits . It looks fun and I love Chris Evans
Omg ...shut up about the Superhero fatigue crap....it's called shitty movie fatigue ... Quit making excuses for them!
Putting that type of budget behind a Christmas themed movie was the worst decision. The Rock tends to overestimate his star power...like people will watch anything if he is in it. Christmas movies rarely do that well in general but trying to recoup a $250+ budget? Highly unlikely
From the preview it looks like the Krampus scene is the only highlight. I can wait to see this at home whenever it’s on streaming. Even if it’s AFTER Christmas. Plenty of movies to watch til then
I took my boys to it they wanted to see it because of Santa and they both loved it, it was a decent action movie something new so it honestly isn't as bad as a lot of ppl are saying. A lot of haters out there that haven't even seen it just hating on it. Go watch it before you judge it. It isn't anything crazy good but it's a good action movie for what it is
The movie Bombed because of Dwayne. No one cares about his movies anymore. And he can't act.
This should have been straight to streaming. I also think people are getting tired of seeing The Rock
Tired of the Rock never liked his movies
The Rock sucks, his character even destroyed the Fast and Furious franchise!, when he joined the franchise, the super hero storyline and characters literally started... 🤦♂️😬🤦♂️
I think people are tired of the Rock
"Jungle Cruise" is a good movie. The only negative is the producers thinking that you can put Dwayne Johnson in a romantic part. That doesn't work _at all_ But absent that, it's pretty good. The pacing is great, which is the key to a good adventure movie.
Didn't Rock take 50 million for that movie alone ? Besides that Rock acts like the same guy since the scorpion king days.
The rock playing the rock in another movie is not going to make money, and evans even phoned it in on this one.
Why did the movie bomb? The Trailer said it all. Dwayne Johnson was in it. He's bad luck for movies since Hobbs n Shaw
no one showed up at the theaters because everyone 123movie'd it
Well, people are going home for the holidays and probably would want a family-friendly movie with enough action for the teens and beefcake for Grandma. Red One might do well next week. Now I want to see how Gladiator 2 does. I am excited!
It's more on rock being everywhere then the fatigue of his acting. It happens to most popular actors they are the box office face to slowly not anymore.
this was a ton of fun! i really enjoyed it. shame it didn't do better
When I first saw the trailer to red one I thought it was going to be streaming only. Another thing Moana 2 coming the same as the red one is almost like the movie It Ends With Us coming out the same time as Deadpool And Wolverine
I saw this in theaters last Friday, and it was great.
I want to point something else out that nobody is talking about. Look at Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage as opposed to The Rock. Those guys took any and every role available. Some of the worst scripts you have ever seen. Some films better than others especially as they aged in the industry. What I think endeared them is that they truly love what they do. They look at acting and being in films like it is a privilege. The Rock to me takes it for granted. I think that story with Ryan Reynolds on the set of Red Notice severely damaged The Rock's reputation in Hollywood. I think it confirmed suspicions many had about the fallout with Vin Diesel. I think people see The Rock as selfish that takes the entertainment industry for granted and the people are turning on him fierce. Its a perception that he exudes that the people are turning against
The only good movies with the rock are walking tall and the rundown. After that he got a swollen ego and it all went to 💩
&faster!
People are over "the Rock". He had his moment in Hollywood.
Im would guess that most of the comments are from people who didnt see it. Was it an A+ movie? No but it was fun, exciting and funny. I took my daughter and sheoved it, rhats all that matters to me. Will definitely watch it again when it streams.
I feel Evans is just cruising along and taking roles that seem fun to him which is completely fine because we all know how good he can be in his roles.
Rock here however, does seem to make people go the other way when his name comes up in a film these days.
I’m in NC and I swear I haven’t seen one trailer or promo for this movie until now. 🤷🏾♂️. So no wonder it bombed
The hierarchy of Flop is with the Rock 🪨
As someone who is retired, I'll check it out in the theaters. It will be a matinee and I will probably be one of a few people in the theaters... just how I like it. I have expectations that it will be fun, and I am sure it will meet that expectation.
That's what I thought but I was wrong. It wasn't fun, it was boring.
Should have been a streaming only movie
People are tired of watching Dwayne Johnson. He needs to stop making movies for atleast 2years.
I stopped going to the movie theater around Covid and instead put my money saved into additional streaming services. I don't regret it at all.
The reason why this has flopped is because they released it part way through November. Now they've got no chance of it making money in December because even if its a good film, everyone will think it sucks now.
Why the movie bombed ? Simple .. cause the Rock in it .. every time i saw him in a movie .. i only see Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the Rock .. he can't act .. Dave Batista is a better actor than him, period .
Man nobody wants to see the rock in anything anymore dude looks like a walking thumb
An Easter Island head with arms coming out of the cheeks.
Rock coming Early to WWE CONFIRMED segway.
Rock was like: “Uuuu, you know what?! I’m going to get Marvel superhero movies (because they’re in demand), add a Christmas theme-because it always sells-and mix all this together. Plus, I’m gonna be in it! Of course, it will work. Jesus Christ, I think I just created the best freaking milking machine. OMG, I’m a genius. You’re too good, buddy. Oh yeah, looking goooood, baby!” (His ego staring at the mirror.)
Some things get old, even you Rock! go away with dignity, whatever is left in there
1) it came out before Thanksgiving, for crying out loud
2) no marketing. Like, I’d never heard of it ‘til now
3) feels more like a streaming at home kind of movie. In fact, I suspect it will do well in that way
