The Rock’s Red Notice Shatters Opening Day Record At Netflix

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson needs no introduction when it comes to the pro wrestling world as he is still regarded as one of the all-time greats. He is also a dominant force in Hollywood and brings huge star power to any film he acts in. The Rock is also a businessman and a very conniving one at that. He also loves keeping himself in the best physical shape possible.

The Rock also starred in yet another blockbuster movie as he acted alongside Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in the action-comedy film Red Notice. It was said that the film is the most expensive ever produced by Netflix as well.

The film saw The Rock portraying the role of ‘the FBI’s top profiler’ while Gal Gadot portrayed the world’s greatest art thief. Ryan Reynolds played the world’s greatest con artist.

The film was released on November 12 and it seems it was well worth the price of admission from the looks of it. Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter and revealed to the world that the film has become the biggest first day movie in the streaming platform’s history.

WOW #RedNotice is @Netflix biggest ever opening day for a film. Congrats to this whole team! Can’t wait for Red Notice (Taylor’s Version)

While the film has broken records, it didn’t fare as well when it came to its critical reception. Many critics panned it for being a generic action flick. It could be argued that most of the Rock’s most successful films fall into that category. It comes down the simple process of don’t fix what isn’t broken, and it has served The Rock well so far.
