It is known that “Gladiator 2” was expensive to produce. Industry publications say about $250 million, and Ridley Scott mentioned that it went over budget. However, everyone is satisfied, and a third part is to be.
According to estimates, “Gladiator 2” did not earn much profit from theaters and will rely on physical media and streaming to recoup all the money. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if “Gladiator 3” were now postponed indefinitely. Ridley Scott said he has already written several pages of the script, but has he convinced Paramount?
At a press conference, a reporter asked Scott about the status of “Gladiator 3” and whether the earnings from the second film could affect the project.
“Considering the results we saw yesterday from the rest of the world, ‘Gladiator 3’ is definitely happening.”
In its first weekend, “Gladiator 2” earned $87 million, and it is expected to gather less than $450 million worldwide. Experts are skeptical both about the earnings of the second film and the chance of an official continuation of the franchise.
