Denis Villeneuve\u2019s long-awaited sequel, which takes place 30 years after Ridley Scott\u2019s sci-fi benchmark, was expected to make some $50 million during its opening weekend but only took in $32 million \u2014 well below even the most conservative forecasts. That\u2019s in spite of a highly positive critical reception, as \u201cBlade Runner 2049\u201d boasts an 81 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/movie\/blade-runner-2049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Metascore<\/a> and an 88% on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/blade_runner_2049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link read-more\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Read More:<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2017\/10\/blade-runner-2049-denis-villeneuve-box-office-1201886155\/\" title=\"Denis Villeneuve Reacts to \u2018Blade Runner 2049\u2019 Bad Box Office, Stands By Spoiler-Phobic Marketing\">Denis Villeneuve Reacts to \u2018Blade Runner 2049\u2019 Bad Box Office, Stands By Spoiler-Phobic Marketing<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, not all hope is lost. The original \u201cBlade Runner\u201d wasn\u2019t much of a moneymaker either, and that hasn\u2019t hurt its legacy; like its predecessor, \u201c2049\u201d seems destined to be a cult classic of sorts whose reverential fans consider its disappointing financial returns a badge of honor. <\/span><\/p>\n<aside class=\"pmc-related-link sign-up\">\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"pmc-related-type\">Sign Up:<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/indiewire.com\/email\" title=\"Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
