Still, it was a massive $150 million movie that continued the story of a film that wasn’t an especially big hit in the first place.
I knew that when I did this movie I flirted with disaster.
(It grossed about $30 million — enough to make Blade Runner 2049 look like Star Wars.)
True to form, Blade Runner 2049 wasn’t a blockbuster either — it made about $250 million worldwide, not bad but also not great for a movie of its size.
