Terminator Salvation definitely wasn’t a terrible movie–just took itself a little too seriously once Christian Bale brought out his Batman whisper.
Thats what happens when u make a terminator movie without Arnold
You and I are f*ckin’ done professionally.
T4 is flawed but still well worth seeing. Great action and a star making turn by Sam Worthington. If your a fan of the franchise GO see it.
The Arnold CGI cameo is a BLAST!

It’s a little unfair to state Salvation is a flop, based off these figures alone (and yes, it leaves off the 13 mil it made on Thursday). Also, Night at the Museum’s going to attract a completely different demographic entirely. I also don’t get the entire PG-13 criticism when The Dark Knight was massively successful and one of the bleakest films that ever brandished the rating (and wasn’t T3 PG-13 as well?).
Besides, even if Salvation doesn’t cover its costs domestically, the overseas viewings will most likely make up for it.
If they make another Terminator (and I hope they do), they may want to learn from Fast & Furious and open it in April when competition is less fierce.
Also, calling yourself McG is cute when you’re doing music videos, but you’re in the big leagues now. Time to go by your real name.

I saw Terminator Salvation on Friday night. I didn’t go in with high expectations, this isn’t exactly high brow stuff, but it was good. We all enjoyed the movie. We also saw Night at the Museum last night, it was really funny. Total family movie.
Terminator came out a day earlier and let’s face it, no matter how good your movie is, it usually starts to do less by the next weekend, Star Trek hit first spot, but fell the following weekend when the next major movie was released….and Terminator being released early pretty much took the first crowds it was going to take for that first weekend, people who might have all gone on Friday if it was to be released then probably went on Thursday because they could. So really, it’s total is higher, and the logic says if Night at the Museum was released the same way, it would have a dip too, because everyone who might have been able to see it sooner would have. It’s sort of how it goes with movies today. It’s rare for any movie to do well after the first drop at the box office these days– with Netflix and all that, so many people wait for the big movies, and the big box office usually happens during first release.
Terminator is no different.
Wolverine was 10x better than T4.
T4 deserves what it got. Nothing near the 200 million budget.
Wolverine on the other hand is MAKING a profit because it was good. If it wasn’t we’d be looking at T4 numbers. Even with the leak Wolverine will top at about 180 million – I’d also add another 20 million to make up for the leak. (Even though I’d say that the leak coat Wolverine about 40 million).
Nuff said.
