Borderlands Flops With Abysmal Opening Weekend Box Office
Sometimes movies that have a weak start will get a boost following positive word of mouth, but it seems unlikely this will be the case for Borderlands. Reviews for the video game adaptation were about as bad as humanly possible, with the movie debuting at a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As more reviews have come in, that rating among reviews increased to just 9%. The audience score is slightly better, at 50%. With a budget of $115 million, and $30 million spent by Lionsgate on marketing and distribution, things are looking pretty bleak. Any of the shared hopes of a potential prequel or sequel are looking a bit unlikely at the moment!
There had been signs for years that Borderlands might be in trouble. The movie finished filming all the way back in 2021, with the cast returning in 2023 to film reshoots. Those reshoots did not involve director Eli Roth, with Deadpool director Tim Miller stepping in. The gap between filming and release had fans of the video games concerned long before critics had a chance to see it, and it seems those fears were justified.
