Box Office: 'Terminator: Dark Fate' Bombs With $29M U.S. Debut

Talk about complete concept rejection.

Skydance, Fox and Paramount's Terminator: Dark Fate reboot — hoping to revive the franchise after three failed attempts — bombed in its domestic box office debut with $29 million from 4,086 theaters, well behind expectations.

Not even the return of James Cameron in the producer's chair and original series stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger could spark interest among many fans and the general moviegoing public.

Nor is the movie likely to be rescued by the foreign box office, where it finished Sunday with a foreign tally of $94.6 million, including a lackluster China debut of $28 million, and global total of $123.6 million.

A direct sequel to Cameron's Terminator: Judgment Day (1991), the R-rated Dark Fate is directed by Deadpool helmer Tim Miller and cost a hefty $185 million to produce before marketing. Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna and Diego Boneta also star.

Arnold made himself and Joe Weider a ton of money. I started lifting because of Arnold and I still do at 59, but politically Arnold is a $hithead so I wouldn’t waste my cash seeing any movie he’s in.

It’s crap.

When that skinny, wrinkled old lady said, “I’ll be back!” - that’s when I knew it was dead.

See for yourself without giving money to Hollywood:

I’m guessing she meant brands (Smith & Wesson? Winchester? Was there a Mr. Glock?) rather than individual guns.

Yes, there was a Mr. Glock. :)

I guess she is upset about inventions being named after the inventor.

Maybe it’s not woke enough? I mean there are no transgenders or drag-queens in this movie, how dare they!

Responding to first pro-Terminator comment. Possibly pro. I love the Terminator movies.
