Turns out the biggest budget for a Netflix movie ever was worth it.

Red Notice, a $200 million original Netflix film starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, had the biggest opening day in the history of the streaming service, as Gadot confirmed on her social media accounts. Other members of cast and crew did the same while we were writing this, but we saw it first from her. Although we couldn’t find specific numbers, this first result most likely just increased the chances for the potential sequel.

Red Notice is a heist action comedy. Dwayne Johnson plays FBI agent John Hartley, while Reynolds and Gadot play rival criminals that Johnson’s character wants to put in handcuffs. Official synopsis:

The high-flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each other’s company.

The movie received negative reviews from the critics and mixed to favorable reviews from the audience so far. Dwayne Johnson already stated that he would love to make a sequel, and Gadot agreed with him. Ryan Reynolds didn’t reveal if he’s up for the sequel, but considering he announced that he’s taking a break from acting, and all the other projects that Johnson and Gadot will need to do in the future. If Netflix greenlit the sequel, it will probably take some time to assemble this trio again.

The movie is also starring Ritu Arya and Chris Diamantopoulos. Rawson Marshall Thurber wrote and directed the movie.

Red Notice is now available on Netflix.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
