“Gladiator 2” was released in the US alongside “Wicked” as one half of “Glicked,” although the double version failed to match last year’s phenomenal popularity Barbenheim box office giant. Despite its $250 million production budget and estimated $100 million marketing budget, Gladiator 2 still appears to have done quite well.

IGN’s Gladiator 2 review returned an 8/10. We said: “Gladiator 2 finds strength and honor in a familiar story, with enough fresh perspective to feel relevant, and an unmissable supporting performance from Denzel Washington that screams, ‘Aren’t you entertained!?’ “
