"DARK FATE": does it bold well for RC Returns?

[Spectrum Scarlet]

With the current news that "DARK FATE" has supposedly flopped at the box office, what could this mean for "ROBOCOP RETURNS"? One of the writers was working on Neumeier’s and Miner's script. I wonder if MGM were looking to see how the new "Terminator" film fared.

Is it any good? Has anyone here seen it? I haven't bothered myself, based on the trailers earlier this year and other clips. Linda Hamilton's performance felt too hammy and the action was the same, head-spinning CGI routine we're all too tired of.

The director also struck me as arrogant in BTS material. Dismissing the iconic thumbs-up shot from the end of "T2" in a Q&A. He thought it was too sentimental, which was ridiculous. Not only was he criticising the creator and his own producer (Cameron), Cameron himself cited him as exceptionally difficult in post-production.

Everyone, including some fans by the sound of it, are blaming the failure on the previous 3 films. It's been a good 4 years since ”GENISYS” while it wasn't the best outing, Cameron *did* endorse it. Him doing a 180 on that opinion and slamming it (incl. the other sequels) felt unprofessional and unnecessary. Hamilton too indulged in that, which was rather cocky, given how long she’s been out of the limelight.

They may not have been well-received and were uneven in parts, but I liked "SALVATION" a lot. Enjoyed some of "GENISYS" and "RISE OF THE MACHINES". I wonder if Cameron regrets not writing & directing "Dark Fate". Don’t understand how he couldn't have paused production on the "AVATAR" sequels and handled T6 with Bill Wisher. Together, they made the first 2 films work on the scripts - and you don't need 6 men to turn out a screenplay. That's been the case with "DF"...and as a result, too many cooks in the kitchen.

Lol, nothing supposed about it, it's flopped almost as hard as Disney's Star Wars Galaxies Edge theme park! Don't think it will have much bearing on the RoboCop movie, as long as the director and actors don't try to take a massive shit on the fans of the franchise and deliver a movie worthy of the franchise, unlike the director for Dark Fake, or Woke Fate as we call it, then things won't end out as bad!

Surely this must be the last we will see of the Terminator for a long time? The last three movies (all planned as the first of a new trilogy) have all failed. It is obviously not something the super hero generation want to see anymore, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with if the movie is good or not. I thought Dark fate was an ok movie, but the problem with the terminator format is that it has all been seen and done before, and although Dark fate ignores the sequels it sure does "borrow" a lot of ideas from them.

Robo unfortunately always gets affected by current times as we all know happened with the series and the remake. I wouldn't be surprised if the failing of Terminator impacts the next RoboCop movie in some way, even if it is a small impact.

I'm surprised they thought bringing Linda Hamilton would be enough after the absolute disaster Genysis was.
I agree with Archive the problem seems to be generational, Robomake or Dark Fate are not worse than a few superhero movies that did much better, but they just don't connect with the younger audiences, and they piss off the older audiences.

Star Wars, Marvel and some DC movies (Joker) are good at creating insterest in both the younger and older generations, and even when one of the two target audiences fail, the movie can still make good money. But R/T seem to fail with both.
Plus not being part of a bigger franchise/shared universe with many characters and worlds to combine.

I feel the sci-fi robotic element of Robo and Terminator might also be outdated, for the younger audience that is used to Iron Man special effects, a Robo/T movie might feel like a downgrade.
Even look at Alita, very high sci-fi, tons of cyborg robotics, robocop/terminator themes, big budget, manga niche audience... and still it performed subpar. Was it worse than Venom, for example? No way.

Now, to be honest, 2 decades ago, I saw more chances for Terminator franchise to survive with the post-apocalyptic horror/action man vs machine war, but the zombie trend took over and dominated that space and the type of stories it could have spawned. T: Salvation missed its opportunity, too much generic chase-action and little horror or war battles. If they went for something like a mix of Walking Dead and Game of Thrones with terminators instead of zombies/white walkers, maybe they would have had a chance, but they panicked and ran for cover trying to redo T2 over and over again (we already had three T2 rehashes if you think about it).

havent seen DF yet, but the trailers looked very derivative . Im sure they will give robocop another stab, eventually. Hollywood is creatively anemic .

I've always said the two franchises were closely linked, and this does look bad at first glance. Especially since RoboCop has been out of the spotlight longer than Terminator. I haven't seen the film yet; it just didn't look interesting to me (which may have been part of the problem in general), but the reception has been pretty good surprisingly. It's even more elevated when compared to every sequel after 2. The common trend here is either Linda Hamilton or James Cameron. And no offense to Hamilton, but I think Cameron being there offered invaluable guidance and kept a sense of continuity to what fans embraced in the series originally. Personally, I really only care about the Arnie Terminator, but I feel they used Hamilton as the selling point because Genisys was Arnold's grand return and that fell short.

So a takeaway from this is that big stars won't make a difference. Whether or not Weller returns won't change the general audience's interest level. But it's worrisome that a generally well received movie from a beloved franchise still bombed. I don't know how to interpret that; it was definitely well-advertised. I usually doubt that internet controversy is enough to tank a film, but that's the only negative exposure I've seen for the film; director inserts politics and insults fans that don't agree with his direction.

I enjoyed Dark Fate. It wasn't particularly fresh or innovative though, and the casting didn't make any difference to the final numbers. You could actually argue it damaged them when the movie lost over 100m. I think the director cost it somewhat, he made some arrogant comments and is now fire-fighting hard to shift blame for his gigantic failure of a movie.

Where DF might influence a RoboCop sequel is on it's budget, it cost 185m to make and had a very big hill to climb in order to be considered a success. I feel a RoboCop sequel could make big money if it's made with a smart story line and smart film-makers - say 100m like the reboot.

You only have to look at the recent Rambo movie - another aging 80s franchise. It cost 50m to make and took home a 37m profit. Job done, money in the bank and none of the woke right-on drivel of the crippled Dark Fate.

As Archive mentioned, the masses are more interested in superheroes with larger than life powers and the ability to be sarcastic and jokey all the time. As surprising as that is to me, the wave of superhero movies is still riding high even though the movies seem to be getting worse. Anyway, Robocop is a realistic tale, albeit futuristic, everything that happens is reflected in the real world, at times to the extremes. The Terminator was similarly realistic, serving as a window into the future. I think that while the Robocop and Terminator movies can be done well with moderate special effects and good acting, they might even be able to be put together in a film, I don't think that the majority of people will get behind it.

The advantage of RCR over TF is that it doesn't need to follow Terminator 2. As long as its a good story with some decent action bits in theory it should do well. Also a Gears of War tie in wouldnt hurt.

The trouble is that Terminator 2 finished the story so well that no matter what happened, what was said it didn't matter. Plus Terminator never really felt real despite the advances of AI.

Salvation, which I liked, didn't feel like the Future war that was promised, gave away the twist in the trailer and thus everyone hated it(?) So we just gotta do Terminator 2 in worse and worse ways now.

Robocop, in theory, could have been the start of a series based on being a dark mirror of our world. Social Decay, public services becoming privatised for profit, anything really. This kinda happened. If they put a bit more love in the scripts they might have been able to milk it longer.

Now this post is just confusing. And I know it. Overall I dont think Dark Fate is a prediction for Robocop Returns. Bare in mind Dark Fate is following the disappointing 3, Salvation and Genesys. Whereas Robocop 2 and 3 are pretty much kinda forgotten and the Robocop Reboot wasn't completely shit.
