Except...I'm a millennial and I didn't have a cell phone until I was 19 or 20 years old. And it was a flip phone. He can't even differentiate Millennials from Zoomers.

I mean.. if these studios didn't pay actors millions of dollars taking up sometimes 25% or more of the budget. they would break even alot more.

I bet for this movie atleast 50million plus was just on the actors.

Most people don't really like Oscar-bait movies. Maybe he should try making one that isn't, more people would like it then.

I've literally never heard of this movie until right now.

If everyone is on their phones that damn much (which they are) people should have heard of it. Also, holy shit that's an old excuse. Learn to effing advertise.

Amazing that he knows the "cause" of the problem which is played out shit and nowhere close to an original thought given that the oldest millennials are nearly 40, but couldn't take it into account while directing the snorefest

As a millennial who didn't see his movie, Ridley is correct as it stands with facts -- it likely got low viewership amongst the 29-40 crowd.

but blaming them just seems like small dick energy. As the fortnite zoomers say, "get gud"

It was poorly advertised, came out at a horrible time, and I dunno man I also don't care to see a Medieval movie about rape starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver and Ben Affleck lol

House of Gucci looks good at least.

These ancient film directors need to pull their heads out of their geriatric asses and just fucking die off already. They've had their time in the sun, now they need to go retire and just shut the fuck up. Nobody gives a shit about their opinions of current cinema, and bleating on about it like a flock of sheep out in the pastures is about as productive as watching paint dry. They might as well be screaming about it into the open void of space, for all the good that it's going to do them. I miss the days when people actually had the class to keep their personal opinions entirely private, because openly sharing such things was considered rude and undesirable...

I think it was advertised pretty well. I was seeing ads all the time up to release.

It's just that it looks cold and boring. Driver, Damon and Affleck look out of place in some knight fest.

Looking up reviews, it's actually pretty good. I'll probably check it when it's available digitally.

The movie genuinely look terrible. Even ignoring that the narrative is unengaging, it just looks like the most dreary thing in its visual language. Depression expressed as a roll of film.

Literally the worst time to release a movie in theaters. How detached from reality is Hollywood?

Ridley Scott seriously can't expect box office numbers like there were in the 80s.

Again, out of touch. He's clearly lost his mojo.

I saw trailers for this movie and it looked:
  1. generic; and
  2. unfocused. I had no idea what it was actually about.

My exact thought. I saw it advertised a shitload, but it looked way too depressing even without me knowing the entire storyline is about rape.
