David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, says that "the production cost was an estimated $250 million. That's a lot of money for a Santa Claus story. The opening is not a disaster, but it's not enough against $250 million before marketing and distribution. A film like this should not have been made for more than $150 million."

Red One presents a bizarre reimagining of Christmas iconography, portraying Santa Claus not as a jolly figure, but as a militaristic operative, in a festive action-adventure that lacks warmth.
