House of Gucci and The Last Duel director Ridley Scott has been finding scapegoats for his recent disappointments in film. When it came to Marvel’s latest projects, Scott went on to criticize the scriptwriting of the movies. This might be due to the box office successes of the comic book movie studio, but Scott didn’t stop there. In an episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, Ridley Scott connected the box office failing numbers for The Last Duel with the existence of Millennials.
Harsh Words From A Respected Director: Ridley Scott Lets It Out
Marc Maron interviewed and spoke with Ridley Scott on the dual release of his new two films: House of Gucci and The Last Duel. But when it came down to talking about the poor box office numbers of the latter film, the director shared his brutally honest opinion on who’s to blame.
While he does acknowledge that Disney performed a great effort in promoting the movie, Ridley Scott expresses his true feelings surrounding the box office reception of The Last Duel:
While it may be a stretch, there are other factors to consider when it comes to pondering over The Last Duel‘s box office numbers. COVID-19 protocols are still in place across the world, and the film is exclusively in theaters. Other major films have taken the streaming route when it comes to public releases, so who’s to say that Millenials are the cause of a box office failure?
