Jamie Lee Curtis and Cate Blanchett in Borderlands
The Big Picture In the most recent Box Office daily report from Sunday, August 18, 2024, Borderlands sunk to tenth place in the daily takings, only earning $670,000 despite the film only being in its second weekend. Despite showing some promise on Saturday, August 17 with a haul of $1 million nationwide, these Sunday figures relegate the movie to a category of Box Office strugglers that many may not have predicted.
'Borderlands' is Simply a Poor Quality Adaptation Close Borderlands' poor performance could be chalked down to the release of other major titles at a similar time, such as Deadpool and Wolverine and the brand-new Alien: Romulus, but the truth is, alongside a terribly arduous production process, the movie has failed to impress both the public and critics.
The original video game series is an unquestionable classic and has received numerous awards on its road to being labeled as such. The movie, while certainly putting the funding and ensemble firepower into trying to achieve a similar reputation, pales in comparison to its source material, and is likely to be a forgotten video game adaptation in a current climate where the sub-genre seems to be thriving.
