It’s Christmas time at the movies, as Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans star in Red One, a brand new holiday-themed action movie that is now playing. Interested? We’ve got all the details you need to know on how to watch Red One right now.
Red One joins a slate of new holiday movies coming out in 2024, ranging from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to Netflix originals like Hot Frosty or Our Little Secret, Hallmark Christmas movies and more. But if you like your holiday spirit with a little action, then Red One may be a good choice for you.
Read on for everything you need to know about when and where Red One is playing, including whether or not the movie is streaming.
How to watch Red One in movie theaters
Right now the only place to watch Red One is at your local movie theater, as it is playing exclusively on the big screen.
In order to find when and where Red One is playing near you, check out Fandango. The website can show you all of the movie theaters in your area where Red One is playing and all available showtimes. You can also purchase your ticket for your preferred showtime directly on the site or on Fandango’s app.
Another option for frequent moviegoers who have a favorite movie theater they like to patronize is movie theater subscriptions and memberships. Offered by various US and UK movie theater chains, these programs allow those who sign up to get free, discounted and/or monthly allotments of movie tickets. Deals on concessions and other moviegoing perks are also often available.
Is Red One streaming?
No, Red One is not available for streaming or at-home viewing of any kind right now. If you want to watch Red One you’ll have to make the trip to the theater.
That being said, we do have a pretty good idea of where Red One is going to end up when it comes to streaming. As an Amazon MGM Studios movie, Red One’s likeliest streaming home is either going to be Prime Video of MGM Plus (or both perhaps). There’s no official word on the movie’s streaming plans though, so we’ll keep this page updated as news about that comes in.
Prior to Red One’s streaming debut, it’ll likely first hit digital on-demand platforms, allowing consumers to rent or buy the movie to watch at home. No info on that yet either.
