Dwayne Johnsonboasts one of the more impressive box office streaks of any working actor today. Last year, he passed the $6 billion mark for the worldwide gross of all the films in which he is considered a leading actor. A good chunk of this sum comes from theFast and Furiousmovies, which have collectively become one of the highest-grossing film franchises of all time. Last year’sMoana 2also made significant strides for Johnson, who voiced demi-god Maui in the movie.
That said, not all ofJohnson’s filmshave been box office winners. As much as he has brought several series and revival franchises (e.g.JumanjiandJourney to the Center of the Earth) to success, Johnson has also experienced massive box office flops. Such films include movies likeJem and the Holograms, which made just over $2 million at the global box office. A different Johnson flop was released last year.

Red One Released In A Competitive Time
Red One’s streaming chart status indicates that audiences are still championing the movie.

The movie was also put out on November 15, leaving it only one weekend before facing the box office competition fromGladiator IIandWicked.
