Borderlands Movie Is A Huge Flop Over First Weekend
The Borderlands film received generally poor reviews from critics, but that doesn’t always signal a lack of success at the office as many poorly rated films perform just fine. However, that wasn’t the case for the Borderlands movie, which is bombing with only $8.8 million for its opening weekend in the US.
The movie earned $7.7 million from international markets for a global start of $16.5 million. Variety, which supplied the box office numbers, said that figure was “embarrassing.”
The report said about 60% of the Borderlands movie’s production costs have already been made back through pre-sales to international exhibitors. However, it’s still a disappointing result for the film, which carried a reported production budget of $115 million and advertising and distribution costs of about $30 million.
