Ridley Scott’s return to the sci-fi genre this year wasn’t exactly met with widespread acclaim from critics, and fans aren’t showing up to the box office to watch The Dog Stars, either. The film came into theaters carrying a $70 million budget, leaving it with an estimated break-even point of around $150 million, but it barely earned a fifth of this after a few weeks — it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest bombs of Scott’s career. He will seek box office redemption once again with his next film, which will be a remake of Treasure Island starring Hugh Jackman and (hopefully) Owen Cooper and Hugh Grant. However, Scott did admit while he was on the press tour for The Dog Stars that he was returning to the Alienfranchise for a new movie centered around Michael Fassbender’s David.
