Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars bombs at the box office. Here's what that tells us about what audiences want
The Dog Stars, 20th Century Fox's post-apocalypse blockbuster blunder, bombed at the box office this weekend, earning just $19.3M US — a dismal start for the Ridley Scott directed, Jacob Elordi-led feature that cost an estimated $80 million US to make. It was one of the most underwhelming openings for a mainstream Hollywood release in a year that hasn't exactly been short of disappointing films.
