Red One, a Christmas-set action comedy starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Santa’s head of security, unwrapped a soft $32 million from 4,032 North American theaters in its box office debut.

Monday’s final tally is below Sunday’s projection of $34.1 million. Those ticket sales were enough to top the domestic box office, ending the three-week reign of Venom: The Last Dance.

Overseas, it brought in an additional $14.7 million from 75 markets in its second weekend. This brings the film’s tally to $50 million internationally and $84.1 million globally.

In a distant second place, Venom 3 added an additional $7.3 million from 3,421 theaters in its fourth weekend of release.

So far, the third and final entry in Sony’s Tom Hardy-led symbiote saga has generated $127.6 million at the domestic box office and $436.1 million globally.

Lionsgate’s family friendly The Best Christmas Pageant Ever secured the No. 3 spot with $5.4 million from 3,020 venues, declining 50% from its debut.

After two weekends on the big screen, the feel-good holiday film has grossed $19.9 million in North America.

A24’s horror film Heretic dropped to fourth place with $5.16 million from 3,230 screens, also dipping about 50% from its opening weekend.

The cat-and-mouse thriller that follows two young Mormon missionaries to the door of a sinister Englishman has collected $20.4 million after 10 days of release.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot rounded out the top five with $4.3 million from 2,894 theaters in its eighth frame.

Ticket sales for the family film have minimally dropped week over week (this weekend was down only 35% despite the movie being available to rent on premium video-on-demand), bringing its domestic tally to $137.7 million and its global total to $308 million.
