This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hopes fans will overlook Borderlands' poor critical reception. The movie was produced partly by Gearbox, the video game company that owns the franchise. Take-Two purchased Gearbox itself, giving it additional insight into the franchise.

At the time of writing, the movie has a 10% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 50%. That is a disappointing result, but Zelnick does not believe it will impact the property or Take-Two at all. In an interview with IGN, Zelnick explained that the game company will continue to explore video game movies regardless of Borderlands' reception, though he still hopes that viewers will see the movie.
