Members of the film community are calling out Avengers director Joe Russo for a joke made about Martin Scorsese.In a video posted to Instagram, Avengers director Joe Russo touted his box office numbers against Martin Scorsese. The video begins with a clip of Scorsese speaking to his dog, aptly named Oscar (the director has been nominated for 13 Academy Awards and won for The Departed). Russo then responds to the clip while holding his own dog: “Aw look, he’s got a schnauzer! I love schnauzers. And his name is Oscar. That’s really cute,” the Marvel director says. “Ok, let’s go Box Office,” he then says to his dog.The quip is no doubt a reference to the relatively underwhelming box office numbers that Scorsese’s latest film Killers of the Flower Moon is pulling in as of now. With a budget of $200 million, the film has so far only made $40 million back domestically, making it unclear if it will break even. In comparison, Avengers: Endgame set a record as the highest-grossing domestic opening weekend at $650 million.Killers of the Flower Moon Suffers Steep Box Office Drop During Second Weekend
