BOOYAH SUCKAS Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Arnolds highest grossing and arguably best movie, opened with second highest OW of all time and was the first movie to gross over 300m OS. Even today it lives on as one of the most iconic summer blockbusters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really crazy to realize Cameron's international dominance dates back that far and was able to drive an R-rated movie to #1.

Plain Old Tele Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It was a pretty legendary OW back in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Was it just higher than ET first release oversea performance or also above ET including the re-release up to 1991 also ? ET accumulated around 350/360m over of the year's oversea. Edited October 19, 2017 by Barnack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, until its 2002 re-release, ET had only grossed around 280m or so overseas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It mostly wasn’t rated R overseas. MPAA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 definitely amazing. Also what is amazing is that it is the first movie that had a 100m budget. An R rated sequel to a film that made 38m! The studio must have had utmost confidence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Schwarzenwgger’s name started to improve after the success of Total Recall in the summer of ‘90. The original gained attention thanks to cable and home video started thanks to the rise of video stores. And an excellent teaser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJimbo Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Glad I got to watch this in cinema (last year), intro was jaw dropping on the big screen. Sorta related... I'm excited for Tim Millers new Terminator. It's going back to hard sci fi. Edited February 2, 2018 by IronJimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think some people can complain 90s action movies don't age that well, but this one holds up amazingly. A Classic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the making of stuff of T2 home video Cameron said that the studio basically told him they would give it a go as long as he got Arnold in. I think it means basically the studio had a tougher time coming up with a paycheak big enough to satisfy Arnold, than worrying about the profitablity of the actual movie.

titanic2187 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I really really enjoyed this movie. To me this is like a Mad Max fury road of 1990s with some surprising emotional depth. The only issue I have is the way time worked in this universe. The timeline just doesn't make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I went bonkers for it when it first came out — it’s definitely one of the most influential movies for me in my life, lol. My love of it hasn’t really ebbed in 30 years either. Edited July 5, 2021 by Plain Old Tele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptNathanBrittles Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looks like TERMINATOR 2 was the third highest grossing film worldwide at the time? E.T. ($723m) GHOST ($517m) (Some sources say $505m) TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY ($516m) STAR WARS ($513m) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
