Borderlands earned only $2.4 million in its second weekend, totaling just $18.5 million globally against a production budget of $115 million, indicating a significant financial struggle.
Despite its established IP and star-studded cast, the film's performance raises questions about its future, as critical reception and box office returns cloud the prospects for any potential sequel.
According to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, the financial risk falls largely on the movie studio and not the game developer, implying that a sequel's likelihood depends on Lionsgate's willingness.
While the Borderlands movie is currently projected to be a flop, revenue from home video releases and international pre-sales may offer some financial relief to the producers.
