Overview

• The 'Borderlands' movie grossed only $33 million globally against a budget exceeding $110 million, with a 10% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.
• Eli Roth attributes the film's failure to pandemic-related challenges, including remote coordination and city shutdowns that disrupted production processes.
• Reshoots in 2023 were directed by Tim Miller after Roth moved on to another project, leading to diminished creative control over the final product.
• The four-year production timeline, compounded by delays and rewrites, contributed to the disjointed outcome of the adaptation.
• Roth has expressed willingness to work with Lionsgate again but only under improved production conditions, citing lessons learned from the experience.
