The Borderlands movie touted as one of the top lowest-rated movies of the year, with a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes, but now, its full opening weekend box office effects remain to be seen and it may also produce one of the biggest effects. cash register in the workplace. Losses of workplaces in the year, in relation to their declared budget.
The film Borderlands reportedly grossed $8. 6 million domestically, ranking fourth at the U. S. box office. In total, it amounted to 9. 3 million dollars worldwide, totaling 722,031 dollars in the regions where it opened.
This is explained by an estimated budget of between 115 and 145 million dollars between production and marketing. If you have noticed, it is not a reasonable film that includes all the visual effects necessary to bring the explosive game series to life. The study has indicated that 60% of its production prices are covered through “international price pre-sales”, but it is unclear exactly how this is intended to be compatible with those totals, as no further data has emerged beyond of the existing figures. Between $60 and $70 million, if pre-sales were added at some point here, it would still be less than their overall budget.
Most “adult-oriented” games have eschewed film adaptations and instead focused on streaming series. It can be live-action like The Last of Us, Fallout, Twisted Metal, and Halo. Or it’s animated, like Arcane and Cyberpunk Edgerunners. In theaters we’ve seen megahits aimed at young people, like the movie Super Mario Bros. ($1. 3 billion worldwide) or the Sonic the Hedgehog movies ($725 million worldwide). There is also Detective Pikachu with 450 million dollars.
However, we also have hits like Five Night’s at Freddy’s ($297 million) and Uncharted ($401 million). To a lesser extent, R-rated Mortal Kombat grossed $83 million worldwide.
None of those films were well won by the critics, however, they were by the public, enthusiasts of the games who were very satisfied, as you can see:
That’s the most important thing missing from Borderlands, the tens of millions of longtime Borderlands players who didn’t like the really extensive tweaks made to the film, among other things.
With this global opening, it turns out that Borderlands will almost get its cash back with no hope of long-term planned expansions of the franchise. We can track more totals as they arrive, adding the expected pre-sales, but an R rating. The blockbuster is coming this weekend, Alien: Romulus, and the second week of It Ends With Us and the fourth week of Deadpool and Wolverine will most likely work.
