2026 has been a slow year for Ridley Scott, who finally returned to the sci-fi genre for the release of his new movie, The Dog Stars. Scott had taken some time off from sci-fi movies after last directing Alien: Covenant in 2017, but he was ready to return to the genre he helped revolutionize after less than 10 years. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan for Scott’s new dystopian thriller, though. Despite the star power of Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, and Margaret Qualley, The Dog Stars eked out only $39 million at the box office, making it one of Scott’s lowest-grossing movies ever. The Dog Stars was recently removed from over 3,000 theaters in the last week, meaning it’s now playing on less than 100 screens across the world.
