This article contains mildThe Last Duelspoilers.
It was one of the nice surprises of the fall moviegoing season.
ARidley Scottepic based on a true story opened in cinemas.
This is unfortunate, becauseThe Last Duelis genuinely excellent.
All three sections of the film begin with The Truth according to…
It is also just a gripping drama in which all the performers, but especially Comer, are riveting.
Mores the pity then thatThe Last Duelopened to $4.8 million in its opening weekend.
But now it cannot even open above $5 million?
In a recent profile interview withEW, star and co-writer Affleck remarked on this phenomenon.
The Last Duelreally clinched it for me, Affleck said.
Ive had bad movies that didnt work and I didnt blink.
I know why people didnt gobecause they werent good.
But I liked what we did.
I like what we had to say.
Im really proud of it.
So I was really confused.
And then to see that it did well on streaming, I thought, Well, there you go.
Thats where the audience is.
It appears sadly so.
