NETFLIX just revealed the release date of its biggest movie Red Notice and set to premiere globally this November 12.
This is announced by Dwayne Johnson on his Instagram, where he uploaded a photo of him with his co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.
In his caption, he said: “Ladies & gents @Netflix’s biggest movie ever #REDNOTICE will premiere in your living rooms around the globe on NOVEMBER 12th ???????? The FBI’s top profiler. The world’s most wanted art thief. And the greatest conman the world has never seen… @GalGadot @VancityReynolds #REDNOTICE.”
Red Notice is an comedic action thriller drama, written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber who had earlier collaborated with Dwayne in super hit movies like DodgeBall, We`re the Millers, and Central Intelligence.
The movie`s tagline teases an unlikely trio for the ages: the FBI`s top profiler (Dwayne) and two rival criminals: the world`s most wanted art thief (Gadot) and the greatest conman the world has ever seen (Reynolds).
An Interpol issued `Red Notice` is a global alert to hunt and capture the world`s most wanted. But when a daring heist brings together the FBI`s top profiler, and two rival criminals, there`s no telling what will happen.
The shooting for the film was halted in March due to the coronavirus induced lockdown of the entertainment industry and resumed in September.
Producers on Red Notice include Thurber, Beau Flynn for FlynnPictureCo and Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia for Seven Bucks Productions. Thurber wrote the movie in addition to directing; it reps his third collaboration with Johnson after Central Intelligence and Skyscraper.
Producers are Beau Flynn for FlynnPictureCo; Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia for Seven Bucks Productions; and Thurber.
It will be really interesting to see if this movie makes any pop at the box office in its limited run before hitting the service, or whether other exhibitors like AMC and Regal join Cinemark in releasing Netflix movies.
Netflix’s Zack Snyder zombie pic Army of the Dead had a one week theatrical release and the film posted an estimated opening weekend of $800K in 430 theaters.
