The live-action adaptation of Borderlands grossed just $4 million on its opening day

The live-action movie "Borderlands" adapted from the game produced by Lionsgate has been released, but this adapted movie, which was filmed three years ago and has a star-studded cast, has not received a good response.

According to foreign media "Variety", the combined opening day box office of the movie "Borderlands" in 3,125 theaters was only $4 million, and this was based on the ticket price increase of Imax and "other advanced large-screen theaters". Therefore, "Variety" speculated that the opening box office of this sci-fi comedy is very likely to be less than $10 million. However, it is reported that the distributor Lionsgate has "protected itself financially" and recovered 60% of the production costs through global pre-sales.

This result is not ideal for a movie like Borderlands, which has well-known actors such as Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Cate Blanchett, and a production cost of more than $115 million. The film's reputation is also very bad, with a Rotten Tomatoes opening score of only 0% at the beginning and only 9% freshness score at present, which once made people think that the curse of game-adapted movies must be bad has reappeared.
