Despite a disappointing theatrical run, the monster movie featuring Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal has found new life on streaming platforms. The film, which was released in theaters earlier this year, has recently topped charts on services like Netflix, according to data from FlixPatrol.
The movie, titled "The Last Duel" (not to be confused with the 2021 Ridley Scott film), was directed by an up-and-coming filmmaker and received mixed reviews from critics. It grossed only $30 million worldwide against a reported budget of $100 million, making it a box-office bomb.
However, since its streaming debut, the film has been watched by millions of subscribers, ranking in the top 10 in over 50 countries. This resurgence highlights the growing trend of films finding a second life on streaming platforms after underperforming in theaters.
Neither Damon nor Pascal has commented on the film's streaming success, but industry analysts suggest that the star power and the film's availability on a major platform have contributed to its popularity.
