Summary

The Borderlands movie has made just $8.8 million on its opening weekend in the US.
This is against a budget of around $115 million, making this a huge miss.
The film has also been hit with negative reviews from fans and critics alike.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Borderlands has officially flopped at the domestic box office, bringing in just $8.8 million this weekend. This is against a budget of around $115 million, which doesn't include the additional costs brought on by marketing.

As reported by and , the US box office charts this weekend are grim reading for Borderlands distributor Lionsgate. The figure falls below the already low expectations for the film, a♈s it had previously been projected to bring in aroun🌌d $10 million.

Borderlands Brings In $8.8 Million In the US On Its Opening Weekend

Even without including the marketing and distributing costs - which aren't publicly known, but Variety reports to be around $30 million - this means that Borderlands' domestic box office takings this weekend make up around eight percent of its budget. This doesn't include its international performance just yet, so there's some more money to be made there, but it's certainly not a good start.

Looking at the charts, Borderlands was beaten by Deadpool & Wolverine - whic💧h is in the top spot for the third weekend in a row - and It Ends With Us.

This is a far cry from the success that other video game adaptations have enjoyed in recent years. The Mario movie was the most successful of them all, making m♔ore than $1 billion at the internationa𝐆l box office and very quickly becoming the highest-grossi🔯ng video game ad🔯aptation of all time. The S♏onic series has also seen success in theatres, with a third🎐 film premiering this December.

It remains to be seen what this performance at the box office means for Borderlands' future film endeavours. However, coupling this with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the negative reviews, it's a poor start for the series.

In any case, fans have been promised news on the video game frꦛont "sooner rather t𝔍han later", which could win back those who didn't care for this film adaptation. It's largely assumed that the next game will be Borderlands 4, but this hasn't been confirmed just yet.
