Red One
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Red One!
This is terrible news for themost expensive Christmas movie of all time.
This model allows production companies to get the most money that they can out of a film.
The timing is entirely strategic.
This gives viewers two weeks to enjoy the movie before Christmas Day.
This leads to a much more cynical answer Amazon didnt care about the theatrical performance.

The choice might have also appeased the big-name stars who appear in the movie, though thats just speculation.
The first or second weekend of December would have been the ideal time.
The following week, it would have gone up againstMufasa: The Lion KingandSonic the Hedgehog.

However,Red Onewould have had an edge over the others since its the only Christmas movie.
Unfortunately, Amazon shot itself in the foot by releasing the movie so early before Christmas.
