Critics and fans alike agree that Ridley Scott's The Last Duel is a really good movie. The film received 85% fresh praise on Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience rating is not low. However, regarding the film's box office fiasco, Scott said it was all because of smartphones.
Ridley Scott said on a show: "I think it comes down to the bottom of the day – now viewers are growing up watching their phones. Millennials (pointing out the generation that was born in the 20th century as an underage, the generation that reached adulthood after entering the 21st century) Ah, they won't want to learn anything unless you tell them something through your phone. ”
Starring Matt Damon, Adam Draper, Judy Comer and Ben Affleck, "The Last Duel" was released in major North American theaters last month and grossed $27 million, compared to the film's estimated budget of $100 million.
