Ridley Scott's The Last Duel takes in 4 million on a budget of 100+ million

[Lootpack]

I don't think the world is ready for slow period dramas right now. Coming off a pandemic, the world needs action and comedy.

Especially with one that has rape as its main theme.

 

[humminbird]

that plot sounds like it can be done with a film student’s budget. Why 100 million? Is there magic involved?

nikka what?

Jean de Carrouges is a respected knight known for his bravery and skill on the battlefield. Jacques Le Gris is a squire whose intelligence and eloquence makes him one of the most admired nobles in court. When Le Gris viciously assaults Carrouges' wife, she steps forward to accuse her attacker, an act of bravery and defiance that puts her life in jeopardy. The ensuing trial by combat, a grueling duel to the death, places the fate of all three in God's hands.
this is the bio

Has to be the cast. A lot of big names in there. And if they filmed multiple locations that can balloon the budget as well.

Yeah the cast is pricey

Ridley Scott is past it. Stop giving him high budgets for your movies

He's been washed for years tbh

 

[Silver Surfer]

Who didn't see this coming....and why would this cost 100m???????

 

[Silver Surfer]

He's been washed for years tbh

All his movies are entertaining and shot well

Some script issues, but not his fault.....mainly the writers

I knew that shyt was gonna flop like a fish. When I saw the trailer first thing I thought was "for who and for what" was this movie made for

 

[Roid Jones]

how much shyt we gonna keep letting this nikka talk off the strength of movies 40 years old when he flopping like this?

It's always the same with his stans, If you say you don't like one of his modern films and the response is 'bu bu bu Alien.....Blade Runner'

Kitbag is gonna change all of that

So this was written by Affleck and Damon too? Didn't realize that.
I really think they overestimated the hunger for older folks to come back to movie theaters and on top of that marketed the film as a dour rapey 3 hours instead of playing up the action.
I wonder if its flopping so spectacularly will make them cut the 45 day wait for it to move to digital and they'll try to move it ASAP to get some kind of revenue generated from it?

I don’t know who this movie was made for. The marketing made it seem like it was a feminist/women empowerment movie, but women aren’t flocking to see a movie like this.

Part of the problem was the way they marketed the rape angle made the woman look unreliable or like she was up to no good and framing the guy. Women ain't trying to see something that could possibly be a 'gotcha bytch' movie.

I saw this last Thursday at the cinema. Enjoyable movie but it would have done very well on streaming.

The audience for the screening I went to were a lot of older folks.
