Grossing $87 million worldwide, Gladiator II has become Paramount Pictures biggest international opening for an R-Rating movie, as well as the biggest international opening for a Ridley Scott movie.
The movie itself has been garnering mostly positive reviews, and currently sits at a 75% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Guardian awarded the film 3 stars, praising the combat scenes for being “superbly choreographed” and “formidably executed” while IGN’s review says Paul Mescal “shoulders the weight of that brewing revolution well” in the role of Lucius.
