Blade Runner 2049 may be a hit with critics but it’s not so lucky at the box office. Despite glowing reviews, strong word of mouth and an A- Cinemascore, Denis Villeneuve’s sequel is faring comparably to Ridley Scott’s 1982 original, now a cult classic but at the time a notorious flop. But this was only ever to be expected – and isn’t as disastrous as it sounds.
