Gladiator 2 Is Perfect To Continue Ridley Scott's Current 3 Movie Box Office Trend

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ridley Scott has not always been a box office darling despite the prestige of many of his films, but the upcoming Gladiator 2 should continue a recent trend of success for the iconic English filmmaker. Set in the years following the death of Maximus Decimus Meridius, the story of Gladiator 2 follows Lucius as he embarks on a path of vengeance while navigating his own past political ties.

Ridley Scott's Recent Movies Have Beaten His Last At The Box Office Scott's box office returns have slowly increased Close Ridley Scott's last three movies have all improved upon the gross box office return of their predecessors, yielding a trend of steady upwards growth since 2020. The Last Duel, which was embraced by critics but much less so by moviegoers, grossed just $31M on a budget of $100M.

While all three movies featured tremendous performances from some of Hollywood's biggest-name actors, the box office gross seems to directly correlate to the moviegoing public's knowledge of the subject matter. The Last Duel featured a drama set in Medieval France, and chronicled a real-world incident between knights in that time period. House of Gucci had a more modern setting and very obvious character name recognition, hence it's greater success.

Gladiator 2 Can Help Return Ridley Scott To Box Office Glory 9 Years After His Biggest Hit Gladiator 2 has more box office potential than any of Scott's recent movies Ridley Scott's highest-grossing film ever was 2015's The Martian, starring Matt Damon and a star-studded supporting cast. A combination of star power and positive reviews made it a box office smash, and Ridley Scott has never come close to matching it.
