Lionsgate could be looking for a Vault full of money proper now, because the Borderlands film field workplace numbers for its opening weekend are bleak. The movie’s home opening for the August 9 weekend introduced in solely $8.6 million, taking fourth place behind Deadpool & Wolverine, It Ends With Us, and Twisters for its debut.

Total, Borderlands made a worldwide field workplace gross of $16.9 million (by way of The Numbers), which is tiny in comparison with its reported $115 million price range (by way of IGN). Assuming the everyday advertising and marketing spend exterior of its manufacturing price range, D+ Cinemascore, and detrimental fan sentiment, Borderlands doesn’t appear like it’ll make that cash again.

Field workplace YouTuber and analyst Dan Murrell says that Borderlands can be one of many largest field workplace bombs of the yr, if not the biggest. What doesn’t assist are the terrible evaluations for Borderlands, with our sister web site WGTC calling the movie “backside of the barrel.”

Surprisingly, some large names are a part of the eclectic Borderlands solid, together with Jack Black (Faculty of Rock) as Claptrap, Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) as Tannis, Cate Blanchett (Thor: Ragnarok) as Lilith, and Kevin Hart performs Roland. Regardless of so many family names, collection developer Gearbox might wish to neglect this entry ever occurred, and stay targeted on its new recreation in improvement.

It’s not all dangerous information for the Borderlands collection, nevertheless. The third recreation has seen a 14.5% participant enhance on Steam over the previous 30 days (by way of Steam Charts), possible as a result of publicity of the film (or viewers of the movie who wish to neglect about it).
