Disney Pulls Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars' From 3,000+ Theaters

Disney has officially pulled Ridley Scott's sci-fi movie The Dog Stars from more than 3,000 theaters, ending its domestic run after roughly a month. The film debuted in over 3,000 locations but lost more than 90% of that theatrical footprint before the studio pulled the plug.
According to collider.com, The Dog Stars has stalled short of the $15 million mark at the domestic box office. The film opened to mixed reviews and currently holds a 40% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie stars Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin. It was Scott's first return to science fiction since Alien: Covenant, released in 2017, which underperformed at the box office and divided audiences.
A Difficult Stretch for Scott
Scott has had a difficult run in recent years with box-office underperformers such as Napoleon, The Last Duel, All the Money in the World, and Exodus: Gods and Kings. In October 2025, Gladiator II made more than $460 million worldwide but cost a reported $300 million to produce.
