Scott is known for his atmospheric and highly concentrated visual style and is among the highest-grossing directors. He has received several accolades and honors in his life, including being Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003. He gained recognition with Alien, which developed into a franchise.

The sequel collected $163.05 million so far at the domestic box office and $272.10 million overseas.

It also stated that he is among the only nine directors ever to achieve this feat, including Christopher Nolan, David Yates, Michael Bay, Peter Jackson, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, and Steven Spielberg.
Gladiator II also gave the director the biggest overseas debut in his career and is the highest-grossing film in Denzel Washington’s career. It competes against multiple releases, including Nosferatu, Mufasa: The Lion King, and A Complete Unknown. In addition, it is available online.
