Dog Stars Flop: Ridley Scott's Budget Gamble Misses the Box Office Mark

Ridley Scott’s post‑apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars opened to about $8 million domestically on a budget reported over $80 million, finishing fifth behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Coyote vs. Acme, The Odyssey, and Insidious: Out of the Further. Despite star power from Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin, the film failed to resonate with audiences, continuing a trend of mixed results for Scott post‑The Martian and underscoring Elordi’s still‑emerging draw rather than a proven box‑office magnet.
