And why didnt they send a Terminator to a time before Judgement Day, when her birthplace was surely known by human authorities, so that Terminator could find it out and eliminate her?

 

The Terminator franchise was always absolutely nonsensical when it comes to its time travel (and to be fair, nearly every time travel movie is).

I'm not a big fan of time travel stories either. Just kind of have to not think about that aspect of the story very much.

Didn't they do that in Genisys and then the resistance sent one to save her as well. Time travel logic is weird.

Sub-$30m for Terminator would be horrendous. Similar opening in China would be

Is this the first franchise to have a trilogy of failed reboots? 

[TwoMisfits]

Honestly, it would have probably helped the franchise to not have a straightforward "Skynet bad, humans good" storyline. 

 

Making a murky plot might give you a chance to live in both a lower budget and a less obvious movie plotline.  Something about Skynet coming back to stop the release of a virus which both kills its original human creators...but also kills all of its original human enemies...and wipes out 3/4 of humanity in one go...and Skynet needing to convince its future enemies to work with them for the sake of humanity and itself...and seeing what those humans decide and how,,,

A trilogy of planned trilogies.

The Crow also maybe

Four failed reboots

 

 

Terminator 3 got the farthest since it got a sequel with Salvation but Salvation flopped and  ended that one 

 

 

then we had Sarah Connor Chronicles which got cancelled 

 

 

then Genisys, and now Dark Fate

Don't forget T2-3D: Battle Across Time which is technically a sequel to Terminator 2.

 

Still running in Japan tho so it ain't dead like the others just yet.

Not good, yikes. 

[Joyous Legion]

Below $50M DOM+China would be kind of perversely impressive. Don't think it'll quite happen though.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

Terminator is actually pioneering the first "Choose your own adventure" type series as said viewer will have many choices to choose where the story goes after T2.

How is it a win when it's opening in China isn't doing well and when it is under performing overseas in general?

Win as in won't lose as much Dark Phoenix. Will still lose money though. Can't see how a net loser is a win. Pretty much ever.

[TheUndertaker]

Maybe the post-Halloween soft friday is bringing Deadline's estimates down more than it will actually happen.

[cdsacken]

At least Joker was a delightful run until the big hitters come along. Frozen 2 and SW9 will be fun to follow
