This sci fi series has failed 4 times and so far

Few film series are in such a downward spiral caught, like terminator. When the first part hit the big screen in 1984, the cinema world was obsessed with the machine from the future. A grim firework of action, which director James Cameron expands on with a grandiose sequel seven years later.

Terminator 2 – Judgment Day is considered by many fans to be the best part of the series. Especially with regard to the special effects, the film has become an integral part of the history of blockbuster cinema. However, since Terminator 3 – Rise of the Machines, the sci-fi series has had to one defeat after another plug in.

  • Today on TV: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines airs tonight at 8:15 p.m. on VOX. The repetition follows at 01:55 at night. Alternatively, you can currently stream the film on Sky’s streaming service WOW at the flat rate.

    Twelve years after the mega-hit of Judgment Day, the Machines Rebellion hit theaters and brought Arnold Schwarzenegger back. The studio paid $180 million for the film. But the result was no more than one tired tryto follow Schwarzenegger’s action heyday.

    No wonder that the next part took the greatest possible distance from it: Terminator 4: Salvation takes place in the post-apocalyptic future and comes up with a completely new cast. The action blockbuster starring Christian Bale is presented as grim new beginning. However, the financial expectations were not met.

    Despite Salvation bringing the most interesting take on the Terminator sequels to date, the series has never returned to film. Terminator 5: Genisys hit theaters in 2015 as a Legacyquel and wanted one Handover of the baton arrange between the old and the new generation.

    Terminator relies on nostalgia and gets bogged down, because it should actually be about action

    Schwarzenegger was back on board, while Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke took on the iconic role of Sarah Connor. What the Start of a new trilogy should also fizzle out. Enter Terminator 6: Dark Fate. Another legacyquel that appealed to nostalgia alongside Schwarzenegger with Linda Hamilton.

    The box office results of the Terminator films:

  • terminator: $78m gross on a $6m budget
  • terminator 2: $518 million gross on a $102 million budget
  • terminator 3: $433 million gross on a $187 million budget
  • terminator 4: $371 million gross on a $200 million budget
  • terminator 5: $441 million gross on a $155 million budget
  • terminator 6: $261 million gross on a $185 million budget
  • (Note: The budgets do not include marketing costs. For a blockbuster of this magnitude to be in the black, it usually has to bring in two to three times its budget. Only then does the real profit figure begin, which is not the case with the Terminator films is very much.)

    • Ultimately, however, the series suffered another defeat at the box office, in fact its most bitter yet. Terminator 6: Dark Fate is considered one of the biggest blockbuster flops the past decade. Neither of the two original stars was able to attract the necessary crowds to the cinema.

    In addition to the financial miscalculations (with such budgets and brands, studios these days expect films that come much closer to the billion at the box office), Terminator fails above all in the discipline that made the franchise great: the action. The row is only a shadow of itself.

    This bottom could still present an opportunity. It was only last year that we saw how the battered Predator series reinvented it with a little film: Prey. Terminator can learn a lot from the Predator upgrade. The key, however, is to take a risk, and very few people do that in Hollywood.
