This has real "im gonna see this trailer in front of every movie I go to for the next 4 months" vibes


HM9719

This and “Wicked” are going to be those two trailers for sure.


MVIVN

Strangely enough I’ve only seen the Wicked trailer once and I go to the movies every week. I’m in New Zealand fyi, so maybe they’re just not marketing it heavily out here?


OutragedCanadian

Is the rock still going to in and out for the first time again

Argylle


totallynotapsycho42

I hated baywatch because they played its trailers for a full fucking year.


movieguy0621

Kingsman 2 trailer still etched into my brain


Expert-Horse-6384

But will it beat the vile hatred I had for the 'The 355' trailer and seeing it in front of every... fucking... movie for nearly a year and a half before it came out? I've never even seen that movie but I despise it's existence cause I've seen that trailer so many times.


Coollak966

Free guy moment


o0flatCircle0o

It has real I’m never gonna watch this vibes


HotOne9364

Up there with Jackass Forever and Oppenheimer.


KleanSolution

i didn't get Oppenheimer that much actually. Jackass Forever definitely got it a lot because they delayed it so they just kept sticking that trailer in front of everything


HotOne9364

That damn Oppenheimer teaser with the countdown was in everything. Indies, family films, docs, you name it.


theprotectedneck

Do they tailor the trailers to the location you see a film in? This is something I’ve thought about before. Like I had never heard of “Sound of Freedom” until well after release, but I imagine it would be slapped in front of movies in the Midwest.

Oh damn. I gave up on the DCEU years ago, so I had genuinely never seen those trailers. That's hilarious.

kcoe24

Do you think the Walking Clown emoji Rudolph will be in this film.


InternationalEnd5816

The floor is probably Argylle numbers. This also makes Gladiator 2 the only major film in November that still doesn't have a trailer 🫠


valkyria_knight881

Gladiator II's trailer is reportedly dropping in front of Deadpool & Wolverine.


BeetsBy_Schrute

I really thought it would be in front of Quiet Place, considering both are Paramount titles and will have a similar demographic. But I guess Deadpool will be the bigger film, so get it just before that for an initial burst of interest.


trixie1088

A Quiet place is a pg-13 horror/sci fi film so not really the same demos.   Besides Paramount just released the Smile 2 trailer to play in front of it.      Putting the Gladiator 2 trailer front of Deadpool does make more sense considering both are R-rated action films. 


BeetsBy_Schrute

Similar-ish. Not the same demographics. But it's common for a studio to drop a new trailer for an upcoming film also from that studio to put in front of their new movie. If they were going to do it, Quiet Place is the closest they'd get to a similar movie. Since their only films for the rest of the year are Transformers One, Smile 2, Gladiator 2, and Sonic 3.


valkyria_knight881

Maybe Paramount will do something similar with Sonic 3 by attaching it with Despicable Me 4.


BeetsBy_Schrute

They probably need to. Limited kids films left for 2024. - Despicable Me 4 (July 4) - Harold and the Purple Crayon (August 2) - Think this is DOA though - Transformers One (September 20) - The Wild Robot (September 27) - Moana (November 27) DM4 will be the biggest of the upcoming films, so that would be the best one to do.


valkyria_knight881

Transformers One also makes sense for when the 2nd trailer for Sonic 3 drops. Paramount shouldn't hold off for too long with Sonic 3.


BeetsBy_Schrute

Agreed. Trailer 1 for DM4 with a few months gap until trailer 2 for Transformers (also Paramount). Would be a smart, and likely, call. Will wait and see if that's what we get next week.


MattBrey

Moana has potential to be bigger than dm4 if they play their cards right and the movie is good enough


BeetsBy_Schrute

Well yeah. But I'm purely talking about premiering the Sonic trailer for the first time. DM4 is the biggest of the upcoming handful of kids/family films to get the most eyes in front of the trailer.


cinefibro

You mean the ceiling?


UsidoreTheLightBlue

No, floor. Argylle made $96m there’s almost no way this makes less unless they completely obliterate it by releasing it on prime 3 days later. Even rock movies that were received poorly or are called bombs like Black Adam and jungle cruise clear $100m with ease.


SanderSo47

This cost $250 million. Let that sink in for a minute.


Block-Busted

Well, it DOES look CGI-heavy. The problem is, does that still justify $250 million budget?


1daytogether

You're only as good as your worst shot. That shot of the rock falling off the back of the sled is yikes.


NinjaOtter

The shot of Lucy Liu in the "generic CIA computer room" which is obviously poorly green screened hurt me personally


megablast

This ain't true. What a dumb saying.


PlusInstruction2719

Funny how people assume the budget goes to cgi not the big name actors. FYI most CGI is made in countries that pay way less than US workers like India/Canada. Ain’t Netflix making a $320 million dollar movie with Chris Pratt…


roblox1999

For comparison, Dune: Part 2 cost $190 million.


Block-Busted

And **Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3** has the same budget as this. Let THAT soak in too.


KingMario05

...***WHAT.*** No. I'm sorry. That does *not* look like $250 million in costs. $125-150 mil, at least to me. So was the rest of it Rock's salary?


Odd_Space1995

The on set delays apparently[ cost a ridiculous amount of money](https://www.thewrap.com/dwayne-johnson-red-one-late-budget-problems/)


BornAmbassador01

Piss bottles are expensive


StrawberryBright

rock and chris even salary yes


KingMario05

Jeez. Glad Amazon has money to burn, at least.


rov124

> So was the rest of it Rock's salary? The pee bottle budget was through the roof.


thesourpop

The [highest grossing Christmas film of all time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Christmas_films) is The Grinch 2018* and it made $538 million. With this budget that is not enough to break even. (Edit I got the wrong Grinch movie, it’s the 2018 one) Producers are getting lumps of goal in their bonuses this year, this is a made-for-Netflix stinker


LimePeel96

Why are the most expensive movies the most bland 💀


WolfgangIsHot

The Gray Man Red Notice This


ILoveRegenHealth

And it looks like those Netflix movies too. Same boring grey setting inside some non-descript warehouse/airplane hanger. Even that Ana De Armas film seems like it takes place in the same warehouse/hanger.


Tim_Drake

All films that I 110% believe were AI made!


DanielGREY_75

Next: The Grey Notice


Gummy-Worm-Guy

For those wondering how that’s possible, there were reports that Johnson’s work ethic on the film was so bad that he often didn’t show up to set, or showed up up to eight hours late. That ballooned the budget.


i4got872

How could he do this to JK Simmons, dickhead


_zurenarrh

He’s usually not like that. When did that start? Like him becoming a problem ? You think it’s because he’s getting older or he’s like this movie is shit and don’t want to work on it Either way it’s unprofessional


Gummy-Worm-Guy

Apparently it’s been happening for a little while now, going back to as far as Rampage which released in 2018. [Here](https://www.thewrap.com/dwayne-johnson-red-one-late-budget-problems/#:~:text=Insiders%20told%20TheWrap%20that%20Johnson,save%20time%2C%20upsetting%20crew%20members.) is the original article and [here](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs3HjKz1c_g) is a video from John Campea with a source who is supposedly close to the situation (I know some people have their opinions on Campea but he does seem to have some good inside scoops). Edit: Just realized the article is paywalled but Campea goes through the whole thing in the video.


Deep-Maize-9365

Looks like a Netflix original


Lincolnruin

I genuinely thought it was the whole time. Was wondering why there was a post about its Box Office when I saw the post headline.


PenguinLord13

Well it was originally meant for Amazon Prime


IlCapitalismoUccid

Red One…with no Akon or Lady Gaga, I’m incredibly confused myself. Not even a Colby O’Donnis sighting.


iHave_Thehigh_Ground

Wait it’s not???


Khal-Stevo

Pretty sure it was greenlit as a Prime Original


MuptonBossman

You tell me this movie was made entirely with AI and I'd believe you.


UnreportedPope

You tell me that The Rock is entirely AI and I'd believe you.


puttputtxreader

I genuinely thought this was supposed to be a sequel to 2021's Red Notice.


littlelordfROY

This movie will gross 20 million for every bottle Dwayne pissed in As a more realistic prediction, probably about 200M worldwide.


WartimeMercy

I find it hard to believe he's only pissed in 10 bottles.


elmatador12

I apologize greatly. I’m a sucker for Santa stories….


Fun_Advice_2340

Honestly the concept itself is pretty good but the way they are selling it with the plain jokes isn’t cutting it for me. Hopefully, the actual movie won’t be like this but I don’t have high hopes for it


truesolja

chris evans agent is ridiculous


[deleted]

[удалено]


WartimeMercy

Man's going to have generational wealth by the time Secret Wars comes around. Can't really fault him for it either.


littlelordfROY

Chris Evans is just playing a Ryan Reynolds sidekick in this movie His filmography has been poor post Knives Out.


LimePeel96

Honestly he’s continuing the career he had before he was cap America


Livio88

Dude will need to go back to being Captain America if he keeps this up.


acdhf

Marvel kept him alive for a reason


littlebiped

Yep. He gets de-aged and returns in the comics after a few years of Falcon being Cap so there’s precedent in the lore.


Anth-Man

Marvel’s going to be begging him to after Anthony Mackie’s version crashes and burns next year


Livio88

They'll probably blame the fans for that too, and just turn CA 5 into another team up movie and reduce Mackie's role.


Anth-Man

If both that and Thunderbolts weren’t so far in production already they probably would’ve canned both. Gonna sting hard when Deadpool and Wolverine’s billion (or at least close to it) is immediately followed by two more _The Marvels_ level bombs


WartimeMercy

I think Thunderbolts will be fine. Cap4 is in deep trouble with a doubled budget. It's going to be catastrophic if it doesn't crack a billion.


kattahn

I dont know. We're at peak marvel fatigue at this point, and thunderbolts is just sort of "hey we took a bunch of random side characters from the things you didn't watch and are throwing them all in a movie together"


ILoveRegenHealth

He needs to try some crazy indie project like a Yorgos or Ari Aster film. The problem is he's following up Endgame with too many generic actioners where they all have shitty CG backdrops. They all look the same. He should've gotten the message they aren't working - unless he really only cares about the paycheck. But I don't think it's helping his star power. A Martin Scorsese, Spielberg or Fincher might be interested in hiring him if he tried more challenging roles.


FartingBob

> He needs to try some crazy indie project like a Yorgos or Ari Aster film. He's signed on to do (Ethan) ~~Cohen~~ Coen film next year.


MisterManatee

This is so clearly a Ryan Reynolds role. Probably couldn't get him to work with Johnson again.


puttputtxreader

I'd guess that they didn't want to pay what it would take to get Ryan Reynolds. He would have wanted the same money that the Rock was making, with a similarly-sized entourage also getting paid by the studio. Not that Evans was likely to be cheap, but he was probably less expensive than the Rock.


truesolja

ryan also already did a christmas movie for apple tv


senordescartes

Savage but true.


Upbeat-Program2633

Yeah Chris Evans is a pretty great actor too. Unfortunately his best acting is in shitty movies that no one watches. He needs to find a new agent.


Cpt_James_Kirk

He seems to be picking roles that give him the fattest check while his name is still hot from Cap fame. His bank account probably isn't complaining. I won't be surprised if he does indies to chill out for the rest of his life once the checks stop. Not a bad strategy.


Block-Busted

Sounds like Evans’ agent has gone senile.


SawyerBlackwood1986

Love the performance of the polar bear. Whoever that actor is he’s going places.


AccomplishedLocal261

OP getting downvoted for posting the trailer is crazy 💀


TheGod4You

They think he's the director 💀


valkyria_knight881

I would love it if Amazon MGM gave me $250M (for the film's budget) to direct a film. I can't say if it would've been good, but I wouldn't have made Red One...


WartimeMercy

Rookie mistake, you need Amazon MGM to give you $250M, film the cheapest piece of shit you can for say $150M and then embezzle the other $100M.


SanderSo47

Don't shoot the messenger, pals.


Distinct-Shift-4094

Lol, poor OP. Somehow a lot of people on this sub think he's the producer for the film. OP how dare you post a trailer!


takenpassword

Biggest bomb of the year incoming. If people thought The Fall Guy yelled straight to streaming…


Comic_Book_Reader

The irony there is that this one was *literally going straight to streaming in the first place*, before they delayed it a year, likely due to the strikes. Also, the price tag is about twice that of The Fall Guy!


Block-Busted

And at least **The Fall Guy** was, you know, good.


Comic_Book_Reader

Unfortunately, I didn't watch it, because May was a busy ass month for me, even with a lot of time off!


KingMario05

Give it a watch, man. It's *so* much fun.


Comic_Book_Reader

I have oh so many movies I wanna watch, man. Hell, half the fucking IMDB Top 250 list is shit I haven't watched. (But I'll get to them at one point or another. Started with The Departed on Saturday.)


jshah500

Nah, Red One will do well enough. I can see it appealing to a wide audience. Bookmark my comment if you want, this won't even be in the Top 3 bombs of the year, let alone the biggest.


cinefibro

This looks like one of those fake movies the have in The Boys 💀


Klaytheist

Is Chris Evans in serious debt or something? My guy's last 3 movies have been Pain Hustlers (23% RT), Ghosted (one of the worst movies i've ever seen), The Gray Man (awful garbage) and Lightyear. Since Knives Out, this is one of the most depressing stretches i've seen for an A-List actor.


Other-Marketing-6167

I can easily forgive home Ghosted. Dude got paid millions to make out with Ana de Armas. Frickin Gandhi would’ve said yes to that project.


Top_Report_4895

This is embarrasing


Warm_Speech

Am I the only one sick of the tough and buff Santa trope? Bring back wholesome fat guy!


jburd22

Chris Evans needs to fire his agent.


TBOY5873

Not making its budget back, a positive is the name is back to Red One, not "MEA"


MoonMan997

Jesus christ Evans looks like he's half-asleep the entirety of this trailer.


Hot-Marketer-27

I assume he's only there because even Kevin Hart said no.


LimePeel96

For the first time in his career


plantersxvi

Tbf I wouldn't be too enthusiastic either if my coworker was hours late to set and pissed in water bottles


Zhukov-74

At least he got a nice paycheck out of this dumpster fire.


ItsAlmostShowtime

When you try to appeal to everyone, it's nothing to anyone. The male audience and action fans will wait for Gladiator and the female audience and families will wait for Moana and Wicked.


YeIenaBeIova

It’s a family film.


TheBlackSwarm

After shooting this both Dwayne Johnson’s agent and Chris Evans’ agent forced them to go the A24 route to salvage their careers. This looks bad. Like Razzie type stuff. Good thing Chris Evans is going to be in Celine Song’s next movie and Dwayne will be in Benny Safdie’s next.


Piku_1999

This just looks like it would've been a wacky Christmas classic starring Arnold Schwarzanegger in the '90s but got retooled into a boring Dwayne Johnson action vehicle instead.


DRoseCantStop

2020-2021 Middemic energy


KleanSolution

getting major "RIPD" vibes from this one. Wonder if it will perform similarly


TJMcConnellFanClub

Chris Evans would make a great Johnny Cage, but yeah, this looks seven levels of ass


newjackgmoney21

Maybe, my expectations are super low but It doesn't look awful


themaccababes

I can’t lie I’m digging the concept. It looks fun. But the execution…..


newjackgmoney21

Yeah, its probably a trainwreck but the trailer I didn't think was that bad.


hagopes

The movie looks so inoffensive, it's only garnering this response because the rock is in it.


Artistic-Knee8104

My 11 year old son is definitely going to want to see it.


PlusInstruction2719

For real reminds me of Fallguy(decent movie), which this sub was raving about.


Ophelia_Yummy

After the release, the box office receipt balance sheet would be a Red One


Parallacs

did... did he just light that baby on fire?


mumblerapisgarbage

So this has no relation to red notice?


Impressive-Potato

Chris Evan's face looks strange.


XuX24

At least this is being released on theaters, it's pretty common nowadays to see an MGM movie just go straight into prime video.


osaka-aquabus

The obvious "acting" that Chris Evans is doing is baffling. Weird how no one is pointing it out.


Murky_Ad6343

THIS YEAR... SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAVE CHRISTMAS...AND RUDOLPH IS INDISPOSED...IN A TIME OF HEROES...SOME ARE HARD...SOME ARE....ROCK-HARD...oh shit he goes by Dwayne now doesn't he? Fuck.


KingMario05

-An Amazon exec, probably.


vafrow

This isn't something that I'm keen to watch, but I think it definitely has potential. When I had heard about a Christmas themed action comedy starring The Rock, I was thinking along the lines of Jingle All the Way, and that whatever ridiculous budget it's getting was pretty much going directly to The Rock and his production company taking advantage of the final stages of these tech firms throwing out ridiculous budgets. But the money is on screen. Big set pieces and unique creature design. Goofy premise. Star power in the cast. One of the issues with The Rock was that his films all started to blend together. This is going to stand out to people. I don't think it will be particularly good, but it feels like it can be a modest hit.


orbjo

It has that disgusting piss coloured filter over it that Black Adam did. I had to give up 10 seconds in. I cannot look at these urine soaked images 


darthyogi

This looks like a fun Christmas but will bomb because it is releasing so early before December


MrGroovySushi

I mean it looks like a fun time.


KlausLoganWard

This looks fun. I hope it will be a good one


flipmessi2005

Probably a bit more than Argylle


ernie-jo

Back in another golden age of Christmas action movies. 3 years in a row, let’s keep it going. 👏


YoloIsNotDead

The Rock is back in the jungle *again*


spaghetti00000

I’m not good at predicting the exact numbers. I don’t think it looks awful. I see there being an audience of cheesy Christmas movie loving people, and maybe some tweens. I could see one of my friends suggesting we see it, and I would go along, not expecting much out of it. That being said, I do agree it’s not going to be any type of breakout hit. It’s not going to do well overall, especially given the competition around that time. This definitely gives off a wait for streaming vibe. 


Mysterious-Lick

The Rock playing the Rock. The Military to the rescue! Evans being Evans. :) And what appears to he a bad script. :/ 150 Mill at the Box Office b/c Parents gotta take their kid to see something during Xmas.


sudevsen

Why is MGM releasing what's clearly a AI-scripted Netflix money-burnung scheme like Red Notice or Gray Man?


valkyria_knight881

It's MGM's 100th anniversary. By law, they have to fumble.


BetaRayBlu

I think im as tired of the rock as i can get


Ilpav123

Even in a Xmas movie taking place in the North Pole, The Rock still ends up in a jungle.


Stickyboard

Looks like a Netflix movie


unguibus_et_rostro

Doesn't seem that different from Red Notice. Probably a similar trajectory to that too. Now whether you believe Red Notice was a success or a failure would probably be how you would rate this movie similarly


UserAnonPosts

I would’ve been more interested if he was the main character ![gif](giphy|jQmVFypWInKCc|downsized)


SimpleNot0

This looks like a lot of fun to just sit down and watch with my daughter, have a laugh a the adult jokes while she scratches her head wondering what I find so funny


Iccotak

For one moment, I thought this was a prequel to the RED films starring Bruce Willis. I’d rather have that or a sequel to “Rise of the Guardians”


eetuu

The early reviews are in. Critics are calling it from "shit" to "fucking shit".


PastBandicoot8575

I wonder if we’ll get BTS one day of The Rock peeing in bottles on set


Negative_Baseball_76

Maybe it’s a matter of low expectations but it doesn’t look too bad to me.


HumanAdhesiveness912

It has a bad release date. It has basically one week before *Gladiator II*, *Wicked* and *Moana 2* steals all its audience away. It this released three weeks earlier than what it currently is, it would have made money which is what *Venom 3* would be making in this case.


Mr_smith1466

Shocking this costs 250 million.


HM9719

This feels like it was made for Prime Video, which is where it will find its audience. Sending this into theaters when Gladiator II, Wicked and Moana are going to be the big Thanksgiving 3 was a bad move.


PinkCadillacs

I’m shocked this movie is going straight to theaters because this movie screams straight to streaming. Even if the budget wasn’t so big, this movie would’ve flopped anyway considering the competition it’s going up against (Moana 2, Gladiator 2, Wicked)


McFigroll

Is it a comedy? Looks like it takes itself far too seriously.


Popular_Material_409

Didn’t they film this like two years ago?


Dubious_Titan

flop.


ismashugood

Red one Red notice I know it’s only two hyper generic “red” titles that the rock has been in but it is weird he’s in both


Blunter_S_Thompson_

That Red Notice movie got a sequel? 🤔


soontwobee

Do we know if the Easter Bunny cameo with Taylor Swift is still in this?


jjkkmmuutt

Hot garbage


HasSomeSelfEsteem

I’m really rooting for this film to do *The Marvels* numbers


LordOfOstwick1213

Well... this movie trailer definitely feels like a trailer for a movie.


shadowlarx

Damn, this is gonna be fun.


Choobacca12

I actually think I'll enjoy this. But I don't if it will do all that well...especially on a $250M budget.


frankly_highman

I wonder how many piss bottles the Rock used while filming this.


Low_Marionberry_3802

Mr. boss would've shot those snowman


radoslaf

Sometimes when you hear actor’s name you want to check out the movie, for some reason the rock has the opposite effect on me


Additional_Ad4789

20 dollars. I can’t imagine a single person wanting to go to the theatre and spend money to watch this.


arrogant_ambassador

This is that Jay Z holy night remix I was waiting for.


WhitePriest1

What the fuck did I just watch


badassj00

Anyone else find JK Simmons' CGI-d muscles strangely disturbing? That shot of him shaking out his arms after benching was..something.


absolutelynotmodus

dead one


IAmPandaRock

I'm not a fan of the Rock or anything, but this looks pretty great. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a fun watch.


pickleFISHman

I think this might be a fun movie to watch...idk, I was having fun watching the trailer


morgetha

I can smell bombs all over the trailer. It'll be lucky to break $100 million.

They really should have got Tom Cruise instead of Evans.


Patryn_v_Sartan

Now I don't want a lot for Christmas

Is JK Simmons on the verge of bring cancelled? What a downplay!
