‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Director Tim Miller Reflects On Revival’s Poor Reception: “I Was Wrong” [Comic-Con]
Paramount/Skydance’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” was originally planned to help revive the stale time-traveling cyberpunk string of movies with the hopes that the new installment, that brought back both original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, would end the Connor Family saga allowing for films to pivot towards other characters in two other potential follow-ups. However, those trilogy plans were paused when “Dark Fate” only managed to earn $261 million globally with a hefty production budget of $185 million, which combined with marketing costs would suggest the film wasn’t able to turn a profit.
