Will Terminator: Dark Fate Be The Lowest Grossing Sequel?

You're fucking old dude, lol, early 2000s isn't "recent" ... that's "old" by modern movie going trends. Pre-2009 IS OLD. The Hollywood business model has changed a lot even from then. You keep bringing up examples from like 12-15 years ago. That's a long time ago.

The fact of the matter is most 80s/90s reboots that aren't Disney live action or Jurassic Park have flopped the last 7-8 years.

Captain Marvel, Creed, Get Out, hell even the new Avengers film, and many other films have very clear "woke" messaging and they've all done big box office. I mean shit, Avatar is clear woke messaging. 

Films like Terminator and Charlie's Angels and RAMBO fail because they're tired concepts in this day and age. Who but late 30s-50 year olds would really even get excited about seeing these characters?

The movie business of 2019/2020 is not the same as 2008 either, you seem to have difficulty grasping this. There's only like 5 film properties consistently making large amounts of money anymore (Marvel/DC, Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Jurassic Park, general horror films). 

Theres some truth to this.
Also I want to add:

Terminator 1 was okay, and the 2nd film was the great one.
After that its just been downhill.  (no-one at this point, has faith that suddenly a new terminator movie will come out and be great)

Terminator: Dark Fate shouldnt even have been made imo.
Then again Im tried of all these lazy action films & super hero movies.

I think the movie industry overall has gone stale, compaired to what it was back in the early 2000's.
Its like its run out of idea's, and is now just spitting out "risk averse" movies, by makeing everything a super hero flick.
