Terminator: Dark Fate | Nov 1 2019 | Estimated to lose 122.6M

[Elessar]

The TV show was alright (at least the 1st season) but compared to the movies (T1 & T2) there's no comparison.

I still think the story and visuals of the TV show was slightly better than T2. 

I mean, story... maybe, as it was a show, and allowed to develop more (despite the fact it was cancelled early). But visually?!

Week#1 Domestic is now in the books.

 

Oct 31 - Thursday previews $2.35 million

Nov 1-7 Fri-Thurs = $35.307 million 

 

Assuming a 50% weekly drop off TDF will be hard pressed to reach $75 million domestic.

@IronJimbo why don't you do your boy Jim a favour and buy out a couple theatres for this? Get it to at least $75M, man, come on now!

[dudalb]

At least James Cameron can laugh at "Dr Sleep".....

Did Doctor Sleep have a 185 million budget?

No, but at least Dark Fate managed to win it's opening weekend, which Dr Sleep is failing to do...

I mean I could afford it but I thought the movie was good but not special (like all 7 Jim films)

Serious question here, not poking fun or engaging in fan wars: Why do you think it's performing like it is? I'm asking as someone who hasn't seen it for myself yet (I never go by reviews).

Previous films were bad, perceived as a dead franchise.

 

Mexican and woman leads

 

Is a decent action movie with some humour and lots of fan service.

A 29 million opening is a horrible opening for a film with 185mil budget and a 100+mil marketing spend. Rank meant absolutely nothing. 

[cdsacken]

Oh no doubt. Dr sleep is a disappointment. Dark fate is an epic fail.

At least we’re still on track.

They got the right killer Terminator sheen to them.

Also have the "lie in wait, perfectly camouflaged, before ambushing your human prey" thing almost perfected.

I'd actually watch the next Terminator if it were about these things.

[scabab]

The Mexican leads probably did hurt it. I have no idea why they decided to do that.

[Zakiyyah6]

Yes, the movie flopped because of the Mexicans. It would have been a huge hit like Salvation and Genisys were if they weren't be in the film. 

[Lucas]

Those damn Mexicans making us save our time and money.

[scabab]

It wouldn't have been successful either way but people don't like minorities so of course it had an effect to some degree.

Mexicans stealing our flops.

[JGAR4LIFE]

Whats with all this Mexican racism ? There’s nothing bad with deciding to add a Latinx angle, especially since we’re very underrepresented compared to other minorities.
 

The Disney Star Wars trilogy wasn’t ruined because of gender equality and feminism.
