Terminator Genisys is tanking. It will debut below every Terminator film except the first Terminator. A B+ cinemascore is suggesting it won’t have legs either. It won’t fall off the face of the earth, but audiences are kind of echoing what critics have said. This isn’t a great film. I kinda disagree. And unlike Magic Mike XXL, this flops hurts. Over 150M spent, which it might get back eventually after foreign numbers come in and everything is accounted for. But, this might be the last time we see the Terminator on the big screen. At least, in this series… and not a full on reboot.
Magic Mike XXL is a flop, don’t get me wrong, but it cost less than 15M to make, so it’s already beyond that. It also has an A- cinemascore, so word of mouth will be stronger. It has no shot at crossing 100M like the first one did. It’ll be lucky to creep to 50M.
Minions will definitely hit #1 next weekend.
