Edmilson 7,473 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Ridley was truly pissed that The Last Duel failed at the Box office and blamed the audience: Quote “I think what it boils down to — what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones,” Scott said. “The millennian, [who] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you told it on the cell phone…This is a broad stroke, but I think we’re dealing with it right now with Facebook. This is a misdirection that has happened where it’s given the wrong kind of confidence to this latest generation, I think.” https://www.indiewire.com/2021/11/ridley-scott-slams-millennials-last-duel-box-office-bomb-1234680979/ Positivatee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,473 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Instead of blaming "kids these days who can't be without their smartphones", Scott should've complained with Disney, who decided his adult movie would come out in October one week after a blockbuster made for the same demographic: No Time to Die. When casual adult audiences were asked to choose between James Bond and a new historical drama with a depressing premise, most of them chose the spy.

So, in the end, Scott is right to blame the audience. Really, if it wasn't because of 007, it would have been another franchise, which is what many directors have complained about, that cinema is only reserved for the big movie franchises or the next big Nolan spectacle. It won't be long before the latest Ridley Scott movie goes straight to streaming (unless it's an Alien or Gladiator sequel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The film suffered big losses (budget was a $100 million and I actually feel it could have been made for a whole lot less), but those who have seen it like it. However, it's not the spectacle and escapism people (here and elsewhere) crave for. Luckily for him, he still has his sequel to Gladiator, which should be enough to make up for past financial failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
