When it comes to both prestige and commercial success, Air couldn't be doing any better, and it's more than making up for The Last Duel.
The Ben Affleck-directed Air has become a huge critical and commercial hit, achieving what The Last Duel failed to do. While the biopic tells the surprising true story of Nike, an underdog in the sporting brand world at the time, winning over Michael Jordan, it's also significant because it reunites Affleck and Matt Damon on the big screen together.
The Last Duel's Box Office Failure Explained The Last Duel follows Jean de Carrouges , who challenges Jacques Le Gris to a duel after Jean's wife accuses Jacques of raping her. It's an epic swords-and-sandals movie that not only reunites Damon and Affleck on the big screen but also marks Scott's return to the genre. The film had everything it needed to succeed: star power, a visionary director, and an epic tale of revenge.
Air Was Properly Marketed Around Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Affleck has been heavily promoting Air with Damon, which is something the actor didn't do for The Last Duel. Air's marketing clearly emphasizes that the two actors are the main draw, and it has worked fantastically. Where The Last Duel made $30 million in its entire theatrical run, Air made $15 million in its opening weekend alone, and that's just its domestic earnings.
