With Marvel’s extremely popular Deadpool & Wolverine dominating the Box Office, and It Ends Up with Us sucking up any remaining audience interest, Lionsgate’s panned Borderlands adaptation is on course to be one of the biggest Box Office busts in recent memory. The movie, made on a production and marketing budget of approximately $145 million, pulled just $8.8 million domestically in its opening weekend. It tagged on $7.7 million overseas, making for a limp $16.5 million overall.
According to Variety, citing studio sources, around 60 per cent of the movie’s production costs were covered by international pre-sales, so that should help cushion the financial hit a bit – but there’s no beating around the bush here, these numbers are nothing short of utterly disastrous.
