Filmmaker Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic action thriller “The Dog Stars” is finding an audience on streaming after flopping in its theatrical run earlier this year.
It ranked No. 3 among movies in the Apple TV Store just one day after it became available on premium video-on-demand.
The film made $39 million at the box office against a $110 million production budget. Critics gave it a 41% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences were kinder with a 69% score.

Mr. Scott produced and directed the film from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith based on Peter Heller’s 2021 novel of the same name.
Mr. Scott has said he is proud of the film and believes it is probably his best since “The Martian,” and he praised co-star Jacob Elordi.
The cast includes Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong and Allison Janney.
