Although I thought that "Red One: Winter Operation" would have an average box office.
But what I didn’t expect was that the film faced a disastrous failure in film history. The Chinese mainland market, which the film studio had high hopes for, collapsed directly, and it didn’t even have a chance to struggle!
0 stars starred in it, costing 1.8 billion. Dwayne Johnson’s new movie failed, and the box office in two days was only 9.8 million!
"Red One: Operation Winter" was originally the biggest blockbuster in mid-to-late November. The original budget of the
movie was US$200 million. However, starring Dwayne Johnson repeatedly delayed the filming, causing the movie to overspend to US$250 million, which is 1.8 billion yuan before it was completed. It is one of the most expensive Hollywood blockbusters this year, and it is even funnier. What's more, the movie was originally positioned as a streaming media release, which is our online movie.
can only lament that today’s Hollywood does not know whether it is rich in wealth or it no longer has any ability to control costs.
The reason why movies can cost so much money is mainly due to the stars' remuneration.
The two leading actors, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Captain America's Chris Evans, are both hot Hollywood superstars. Together with more than 30 Hollywood stars of all sizes, including Lucy Liu, the star remuneration alone cost US$100 million.
This makes "Red One: Winter Operation", as a fantasy blockbuster, the special effects become a weakness.
The whole movie is just Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans performing American cross talk. To be honest, it is no different from the sketch comedy films made by Shen Teng Jia Ling. In the words of netizens, it is American style. Making Dumplings is a Hollywood Spring Festival Gala movie. It just so happens that the movie also focuses on Christmas. In recent years, the global movie market has not been as good as expected. To put it bluntly, there are too many bad movies. Although bad movies like
have not yet been released in North America, they have gained a good reputation, so the film producers bet on the Chinese mainland market.
Mainland China will lead the world premiere on November 8th. The home market of North America will not be released until November 15th, which shows that it is trying to please the Chinese audience. Unfortunately, as of 18:00 on November 9th, "Red One: Winter Operation" has a single day. The box office has dropped to 4.58 million, accounting for 8.9% of the scheduled films and only 3.3% of the box office. The attendance rate is at the bottom. The box office in the two days after its release was only 9.8 million.
predicts that the final mainland box office will not exceed 30 million!
What is this concept?
The domestic film "The Untold Story of " was released on November 9. The box office on the first day has already exceeded 58 million. You must know that the cost of this film is only 30 million. How come Hollywood has even made small and medium-cost domestic films? But that’s the point?
lost more than 1.4 billion, and the box office of "Red No. 1" collapsed. I sighed: This golden signboard is ruined!
Since the film’s Rotten Tomatoes rating in North America is only 35%, it is foreseeable that the film’s North American box office will not be too high.
Some media even asserted that the movie’s global box office will not exceed US$150 million, which means that the movie’s loss may be as high as US$200 million, which is 1.4 billion yuan. It is undoubtedly one of the biggest box office tragedies in 2024.
also announced the collapse of Hollywood’s mainland market in 2024.
As of now, Hollywood has released 40 new films in the Chinese mainland market in 2024, of which only 13 have exceeded 100 million in box office. The annual champion " Godzilla vs. Kong 2" has a domestic box office of 956 million, which is a significant decrease compared to the 1.232 billion of the previous film. There are also " Venom 3", "Deadpool and Wolverine", "Despicable Me 4" and " The mainland box office of Hollywood super IP sequels such as "Kung Fu Panda 4" has been cut in half.
The only Hollywood blockbuster that exceeded expectations throughout the year was "Alien", which focused on R-level large-scale, and it was not cut off.
This is indeed an area that domestic films cannot yet surpass.
"Red One: Winter Operation" is the grand finale of this year's Hollywood blockbuster. It expects Chinese audiences to pay for it and become the savior. This is largely due to the golden name of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. This action tough guy has been almost undefeated in the mainland market before.
The mainland box office of "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" starring 2012 exceeded 386 million, ranking ninth in the year.
The box office of "Fast and Furious 6" starring
in 2013 exceeded 413 million, and the box office of "Special Forces 2" was 338 million.
In 2015, the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" exceeded 2.423 billion, breaking Hollywood's record in the mainland market. In the same year, there was also a movie " Doomsday Collapse " with a box office of 628 million.
and 2017's "Fast and Furious 8" broke the record again with a box office of 2.67 billion. In 2018, " Rampage " broke 1.03 billion. " Skyscraper Rescue " also had 669 million. 2019's "Fast and Furious" Gaiden" also reached 1.434 billion, which was the last glory of this series in the mainland market.
You can see that even if you don't count big IPs like "The Fast and the Furious", Dwayne Johnson's box office performance in the mainland market is amazing.
Chinese audiences seem to particularly like actors with this kind of tough-guy action, coupled with his cheap and cute performances, which is in contrast to his appearance. However, in recent years, almost all of Dwayne Johnson’s roles have been homogeneous. This "Red" No. 1: Operation Winter" viewers don't have to watch it to know that it's nothing more than a story about two big American guys bickering and saving the world.
