Moviegoers were not exactly feeling the Christmas spirit this weekend, or at least what “Red One” was offering. The big budget, star-driven action comedy with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans sold US$34.1 million in tickets in its first weekend in theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. It easily topped a box office populated mostly by holdovers.
Sony's “Venom: The Last Dance” added US$7.4 million this weekend to take second place, bringing its domestic total to US$127.6 million. Globally, its total stands at US$436.1 million.Lionsgate's “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” landed in third with US$5.4 million. That much more modestly budgeted Christmas movie has already nearly doubled its US$10 million production budget in two weeks. Fourth place went to A24’s Hugh Grant horror “Heretic,” with US$5.
