“Red One” debuted as Prime Video’s No. 1 Amazon MGM Studios movie ever this past weekend, the streamer announced on Monday. That’s after it released a month prior in theaters.

According to Amazon, 50 million viewers watched the Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans-led Christmas movie in its first four days of at-home viewing. The holiday buddy action-comedy previously made $175 million at the box office after first premiering in theaters on Nov. 15 (the budget was over $250 million, by comparison).

“Given the audience response to ‘Red One’ both in theaters and on Prime Video, the film will clearly be a perennial holiday favorite for years to come,” Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke said in a Monday statement.
