The film BORDERLANDS suffered a loss of $114 million at the box office

THE Borderlands The film finally left theaters and it came out battered, bloody and bruised. The film was a box office flop and the proceeds barely covered the marketing costs. Damn!

Variety reports that Borderlands had a production budget of $115 million, to which its distributor Liongate added another $30 million for marketing and distribution costs.

So, the film’s total budget was $145 million, but it only grossed $31 million when all was said and done. That means the film is at a loss of $114 million.

You know, this movie should have been a really good and funny movie, but Eli Roth He sure made a shitty movie. This was a by-the-numbers movie, and there was no real effort put into creating a decent story. It’s a shame for such a great video game franchise.

Cate Blanchette defended the film saying, “I mean, it’s not The Grapes of WrathIt is not Blade Runner. It’s a strange, bizarre thing, and when you look at the cast, there’s a heterogeneous quality. We’re a very heterogeneous team, in life and in art. I don’t think anyone would call Borderlands art, but it’s fun.”

I think a lot of people who have seen the movie would disagree, given that it has a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I thought the movie would at least be fun to watch, but no, there was no fun at all.

In the film, “Lilith, a notorious bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas, the most powerful son of a bitch in the universe.

“Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a motley crew of misfits: Roland, a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina, a savage preteen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina’s hunky protector; Tannis, the eccentric scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap, a know-it-all robot.

“Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets.

“The fate of the universe may be in their hands, but they will fight for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.”

The movie stars Cate Blanchett like Lilith, My Friend Jamie Lee Curtis like Tannis, Kevin Hart like Roland, Black Jackthe character of Claptrap, Ariana Greenblatt like little Tina, and Florian Munteanu like Krieg.
