The film produced by Lionsgate, 'Borderlands,' has grossed just over $31 million worldwide, significantly below its reported $115 million production budget, showcasing a stark contrast between audience expectations and box office performance.
Despite a dedicated fanbase and high expectations for 'Borderlands,' the film struggled financially after an initial $8.6 million opening weekend and poor reviews, leading many theaters to drop it.
Lionsgate retains the financial risk for 'Borderlands,' as per Gearbox's Randy Pitchford, who highlighted the potential for the studio's loss to impact future adaptations despite Gearbox's financial safety.
The borders of success for 'Borderlands' were further blurred by its release on home video and financial avenues such as streaming and airline sales, but the lack of a current streaming home limits reach.
