The shocking BOMB of Terminator Dark Fate was revealed this morning as it's eyeing a horrific 27M for the 3 days after tracking showed it was going to earn 40M for the 3 days after the return of Arnold and Linda!!

Paramount and Fox(Disney) were hoping for a better result as even China is underperforming with 19.4 when it was expected for a 30M result and is well below the 40-50 they were hoping.

It needs 470M+ to even breakeven on a 200M budget and that number is going to be well off it's range as James Cameron and Arnold asked for 8-9% of the total ally...this will definitely see red in the end!

There was creative battles between Deadpool's Tim Miller and James Cameron as the creative battle over where to take the franchise was going and even though critics were more generous with a 70% fresh rating, audiences even cranked out an 85% on RT but when spoilers revealed a shocking and furious response from the public, it turned people off..especially male trolls who erupted in anger when the 3 leads would be FEMALES after previous failed attempts with male leads

It doesn't help that the main characters were relative unknowns and despite Arnold and Linda, there was no major stars. The movie is also ignoring all other Terminators after Judgement Day and Linda had called those sequels "trash".

This is the 6th film in the series and will be the biggest bomb as audiences don't seem to care much about the franchise anymore..

The movie was expected a global opening of 125 million but that number will severely by way off...

Do you think the Terminator Franchise should be put to bed?

It ignored the plot of the first two movies as well making their story absolutely pointless.

And gee what a shock, actress says movies she isn't in are trash. I like Linda Hamilton, but this was just stupid to say at best.

SJW shit and plot holes aside, I didn't like it because it was a retread of all the other Terminator movies, not a lot of originality. I did enjoy every scene with the Rev 9 though, if there's one thing they nailed it was the villain.

If Terminator Genisys is any indication, itll do poorly in North America, but become a financial success from the rest of the world. About 80% of the box office for Genisys came from outside North America.

Also, Genisys did $27 million over its entire opening weekend. If Dark Fate did $27 million from Wednesday to Friday, then its very likely going to surpass that mark. And Genisys did $440 million worldwide on a (roughly) $160 million budget - about the same as Dark Fate.

Terminator is one of those films I don't want to see a reboot of.

Not only is nobody going to match Schwarzenegger's iconic performance, but we all know a remake would just be an untrained civilian Sarah Connor being approached by a stalker in a club and instinctively whooping his robotic ass with all the skills and wherewithal of a top army professional.

James Cameron for every Terminator sequel leading up to release: "This movie is great, really gets it right."

James Cameron six months later: "That movie was complete shit, didn't have any good ideas, got nothing right."

James Cameron when he starts producing Terminator movies again: *rips off all those other Terminator movies*

Yeah. You can argue it was a "soft reboot" since it just used time travel to explain why everything was being changed but so much was rewritten through time travel hijinks that yeah it was meant to be a reboot.

One is fantastic because of the tension, horror elements and character development. The scenes with Arnold cutting out his eye and the Terminator skeleton at the end looked goofy but atleast they were practical effects. Two is also great with the new villian and special effects but after that you can tell no one gives a shit anymore.

It was basically just a worse version of judgement day with the roles swapped and a different horrible future, which is unbelievably lazy.

And yeah that opening scene is going to piss people off because it is awful.

The audience were clearly paid by Hillary Clinton, Antifa Sarkesian, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Digeneres, Kathleen Kennedy, Hillary Clinton again, Briana Wu, Zoe Quinn, Brie Larson, Disney, that one girl from the Ghostbusters movie, and AOC to upvote the movie.
