But not even the presence of original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton, along with series creator James Cameron on board as a producer could ignite enough interest among moviegoers. However "Terminator: Dark Fate" was hailed as a return to form for the 35-year-old franchise, even landing a B+ Cinemascore from audiences and a 69 per cent average on Rotten Tomatoes. The most recent "Terminator" films - 2009's "Terminator Salvation" and 2015's "Terminator Genisys" - were both panned by critics and failed to recoup their pricey budgets. After a weak start, sources estimate it could struggle to reach $50 million in that territory. China was expected to be a key market for the release, but launched with an underwhelming $28 million. Paramount, Skydance and Disney (through 20th Century Fox) co-financed the movie, each putting up 30 per cent of the budget, with China's Tencent contributing the remaining cash.

Unless the movie sees an exceptionally strong hold in the coming weeks, sources at rival studios estimate the movie could lose $100 million.

The sixth "Terminator" entry debuted with a dismal $29 million in North America and $102 million overseas, disappointing figures for a movie that cost $185 million to produce, plus $80 million to $100 million in global marketing and distribution fees. "Dark Fate," the most recent instalment in the sci-fi series, has fallen flat at the box office and stands to be a big money loser for Paramount, Skydance and Disney, the studios backing the big-budget movie. Yet the very nature of the Terminator story means that going round and round in existential circles comes with the territory."Terminator" might not be back any time soon.
The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said: "This sixth Terminator surely has to be the last.
The Associated Press' Lindsay Bahr said: " Terminator: Dark Fate is just another bad Terminator movie in a string of bad Terminator movies (although better than Genisys)." Past thwarted attempts to revive the Terminator franchise have led to some critics running out of goodwill for the series, however. The Hollywood Reporter gave Dark Fate a decidedly more mixed review, claiming the story feels like it's retreading on old territory but has "great action." Critic John DeFore wrote: "We're distracted from the staleness of this storyline by sequences that strain awfully hard to dazzle us." "Yet Hamilton, playing this burnt-out husk of a savior, is triumphantly funny and alive," writes critic Owen Gleiberman. Hamilton was singled out for praise for her portrayal of an older, more weathered Sarah Connor.
