'Terminator: Dark Fate' suffers franchise fatigue while 'Harriet' opens solid. 'Motherless Brooklyn' and 'Arctic Dogs' both fail to crack $5 million.
While Paramount’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” won the box office, opening in first place with $29 million, the result is well below analyst projections of $35 million to $40 million, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore. The previous series installment, “Terminator: Genisys,” also opened poorly with $27 million in 2015, and on an extended Fourth of July weekend.
“Dark Fate” was also reportedly plagued with production issues, including a bloated budget, script problems, creative battles between Cameron and director Tim Miller and a set that went dark for days. Rounding out the top five, United Artists Releasing’s “The Addams Family” added $8.5 million in its fourth weekend for a cumulative $85.3 million.
The film, which earned a 62% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, also features Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. Starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, the 3.5-hour mob drama cost $160 million to $200 million to produce. It boasts a 97% “fresh” score on Rotten Tomatoes and will debut on the streaming service Nov. 27.
