The BORDERLANDS movie is a disastrous flop

BOMBS AWAY

As a critic, it’s my job to generally treat all things with grace – but I feel pretty confident saying that the Borderlands movie, which launched to shocking reviews, has not done well. I trust the opinion of my fellow PC Gamer writer Joshua Wolens who, having sat down and watched the whole thing, dubbed it “tasteless mush that no one involved seemed interested in saving” and “an excuse to buy a bucket of popcorn”.

That critical reception appears to have manifested at the US box office, via Variety, reporting that Borderlands the Movie raked in $8.8 million in its opening weekend in the States. This is a movie that cost $115 million to make and an additional $30 million to market and distribute.
