"Terminator 6" global box office performance is poor, James Cameron hopes the fate of the trilogy is slim

Although

"Terminator 6" was a hit during its release, the film's box office performance was very poor. The original prediction of "Terminator 6" was that the North American box office reached 35 million to 45 million U.S. dollars during its premiere weekend, but so far, the box office of this film is only 27 million U.S. dollars in North America. It can be said that it is still far from the original box office expectations. A long distance.

But this time, the international box office does not seem to be able to save the fate of the "Terminator" movie.

​​The overseas premiere of "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" has a very low box office. As the world's second largest box office market in China, the box office revenue of this movie in our country is only 30 million U.S. dollars, less than 40-50 million Expectations of the dollar. From this point of view, the previous "failure" sequels of this movie had a great influence on this series of movies. Because this movie performed very poorly both in the US and overseas markets.

The Deadline website in the United States claimed that this was the "terrible ending" of "Terminator 6: Dark Fate". The production cost of this film was between US$185-195 million, but this does not include marketing costs. So the "break-even point" of this movie is more than $470 million. At this point, judging from the box office of "Terminator 6" premiere weekend, the gap is really very big.

James Cameron once told the creation of the "Terminator" trilogy

. This inevitably makes people worry about the fate of the "Terminator" trilogy, because the film’s producer James Cameron once said that it needs to be used "Terminator 6: Dark Fate" creates a new trilogy.

We rolled up our sleeves and started telling this story. When we mastered something, we saw this movie as the growth period of the three movies, so we took There will be a bigger story to tell later. If we are lucky enough to make some money through "Terminator 6: Dark Fate", we know where the next movie will go."

James Cameron is " The producer of "Terminator 6: Dark Fate", although not the director, he did not even go to the set, but he said he participated in the final editing of the film. Over the past few years, James Cameron has been keen to make series of movies, from the "Avatar" series to "Alita: Battle Angel", he always hopes to make more movies. At this point, "Alita" may be more promising than the fate of "Terminator", at least "Alita" also received a good box office during its premiere weekend.
