Terminator: Dark Fate NOT Moving for Charlies Angel's

Paramount has no intentions whatsoever of moving Terminator: Dark Fate.

The studio is confident that Terminator: Dark Fate can hold its own going up against Sony Pictures Charlie’ Angels reboot. Read on for movie…

Terminator: Dark Fate NOT Moving for Charlies Angel's

CelebNMovies247.com reports that Terminator 6, officially titled Terminator: Dark Fate is set to go head to head with Charlies Angel’s.

While Charlie’s Angels is squarely aimed at females, female-action driven pics can be a challenge in drawing a female fanbase. When Alita: Battle Angel, and Disney’s Captain Marvel hit theaters they both drew more males in the opening weekend.

Why is Sony adamant about a November 1, 2019 release date?

The reason why Sony selected Nov. 1 for its Elizabeth Banks-directed Charlie’s Angels reboot is because that’s when the first feature take on the hit 70s/80s TV series opened 19 years ago. It may be prudent to abandon tradition. In all fairness, Sony was on the date first, announcing the news on the evening of Oct. 22, after Wonder Woman 1984 jumped to summer 2020.

Paramount announced that Terminator was marching on the same opening date the following morning on Oct. 23. However, Terminator is the older, more robust grossing franchise and essentially this war of franchises is a game of chicken. Both movies are looking for second lives; the last Charlie’s Angels were back in 2003, and the previous Terminator under Skydance, Terminator: Genisys, is the lowest grossing installment stateside at $89M since the original 1984 movie ($38.3M), reports Deadline.

Terminator thespians Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger return for the Tim Miller version. Josh Friedman, David Goyer, Billy Ray and Justin Rhodes wrote the screenplay. Cameron, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger producer. Fox is also a producer and handling overseas to Par’s domestic.

Also opening on Nov. 1, but in a clear case of counter-programming, is Warner Bros. Ed Norton-directed period drama Motherless Brooklyn and Entertainment Studios’ Arctic Dogs.
