Will Terminator: Dark Fate Be The Lowest Grossing Sequel?

Yeah I hate to break it to you but George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, ARE LIBERAL. They ARE WOKE. So unless you're talking about 1940s Hollywood, lol, yes Hollywood has always been left leaning and woke. Since pretty much the 60s/70s onwards.

Genisys was DOG SHIT, hahaha, lol, it doesn't surprise me if that was some kid's first introduction to the Terminator franchise that they'd never want to watch another again either. I wouldn't.

Arnold is too damn old looking to carry an action movie anymore, yes he looks great for a 70 year old, but he still looks old. He's not believable as an imposing threat (good or bad) any longer.

15 years is old as fuck. A person who was 21 years old, 15 years ago today is 36 and probably has kids and a spouse. They can't go to a fucking movie theater every weekend like they're 22, and when they do it's usually so the dumb kids get to watch the new CGI kids movie, not Terminator. That's called life, it happens to everyone. 

That's the other thing, I mean pretty much all of my friends go see Terminator movies when we were younger, but now that many of them are married and with young kids ... that ain't happening. I'm a little younger and just newly married so I have some time, but these days the only movies that they get out to see with me is like the big ticket Avengers movies and we'll try to see the new Star Wars I guess, but even that is gonna be tough for some people. 

My friends we'd always see these new franchise instalments every week, opening Friday and then go off to Denny's until 2-3 AM. Saturday was for going out/clubbing. That shit doesn't happen at all anymore, lol. 

Movie business relies on people in the 16-29 year old demo, once you get older than that a thing called "reality" sets in. 

It is more likely that a 45 person will have money to go to movie every weekend if he wants than a 22. And I'm married, have 2 children, 34 and the movies I wanted to see (aren't many because most don't seem interesting to me to expend money) I go watch with a friend or wife, and some of the child movies we go as family or she goes with the children on earlier in the day midweek because it is a lot cheaper.

You are just making excuses.
