Rushy, that movie was a cynical cash in. Dick was in it to trick guileless people into having warm fuzzy feelings about their entertainment product.

We'll see if Terminator bombs, which I'm gonna bet it will bomb stateside. The x factor would probably be China, there are no ghosts so it'll play there.

Hence why I said for a moment. At least they made an effort at giving warm fuzzy feelings

Is ANYONE on Earth excited about the prospect of a new "Terminator" movie in 2019?

They did pick the right time to put it out, though, I just checked the listings of my local AMC enormo-plex theater and it's the ONLY blow-'em-up fx action movie out right now. No competition, unless "Zombieland: Not Enough Trump Commentary for Movieblob" counts.

If Skynet could sent multiple Terminators through time, why didn't they sent more than one to kill Sarah Connor back in 1984? The entire premise of Woke Fate introduces a whole bunch of plot holes in relation to the previous movies.

Yeah. They sent a T-800 to kill Sarah, but then they also sent a T-1000 to kill John. Oh but they also sent another T-800 to kill John a few years later. Blah blah blah this fucking plot is so fucking worn out.

Dunno, could be another Star Wars case where the Chinese have no nostalgic attachment to the franchise whatsover and therefore don't care a lot about any sequels.

Genisys allegedly did well in China.

:The lowest point in the series came in 2015, when Paramount attempted a soft reboot of the series with Genisys. Sadly, the movie was a dud, earning horrible reviews and failing to break the $100 million threshold in the States. However, proving that the Chinese will embrace anything with robots, Genisys rocketed up to the top spot at their box office. The movie made $113 million in China, possibly due to Arnold Schwarzenegger's star power in the far east. For years, Schwarzenegger was a spokesperson for a number of popular products in Asia, and it's likely that this helped save Genisys from the scrap pit."
