Borderlands Movie Bombs with $31 Million Box Office Return
Despite a star-studded cast and a popular video game franchise, the film suffered from poor reviews and low audience turnout.
- Borderlands grossed only $31 million globally, significantly less than its $145 million combined production and marketing budget.
- The film's domestic earnings totaled $15.4 million, with international markets contributing $15.6 million.
- Critics were harsh, resulting in a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 26% on Metacritic.
- The movie's early exit from theaters led to a quick transition to home video, starting August 30.
- Despite the film's failure, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford announced Borderlands 4, set for release in 2025.
