The Borderlands movie is bombing with only $8.8 million for its opening weekend in the US. It earned $7.7 million from international markets for a global start of $16.5 million. Variety called this figure 'embarrassing.'
Borderlands earned a D+ rating on CinemaScore, making it one of the worst-reviewed major films of 2024 and among the biggest box office bombs. The film's production budget was $115 million, with additional costs.
Despite being an established IP with a dedicated fanbase and a star-studded cast, including Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, the Borderlands movie came up short at the box office, failing to meet expectations.
Randy Pitchford, head of Borderlands developer Gearbox, noted that the movie's performance doesn't impact the game franchise. The financial risk lies with the movie studio, Lionsgate.
