Terminator Suffers Big Second Weekend Drop

Despite my humble recommendation, Terminator: Dark Fate is continuing to underperform at the box office. After a tumultuous opening weekend, sales didn’t spike at all moving through the second. In fact, they took a very big hit. Surely, this isn’t a great start to a potential new Terminator trilogy, but let’s get down to the numbers.

According to a new report from Forbes, Dark Fate only scraped together $2.8 million on Friday, November 8th, marking a 73% drop from its opening on the 1st. To put that into perspective, not only is that the worst Terminator opening of the franchise, but it joins the low ranks of films like Batman V Superman, which experienced an 81% drop, and Dark Phoenix, which experienced an 83% drop, through their second Fridays.

Unfortunately, the film is only on track to make over $10 million this weekend – a 65% drop from last weekend’s $29 million intake.
