While “Terminator : Genisys” might have made a lot of loot internationally, the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring actioner was far from a success domestically. Still, it was expected that Paramount and Skydance would forge on with the film’s long proposed trilogy plans based on the box office returns from China alone.
Seems not. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Genisys” is ultimately going to lose money and as a result the franchise has been put on indefinite hold.
While “Genisys” was expected to be the first chapter in a new trilogy, we might not see those next two chapters.
A source tells the trade that “the notion of a ‘Terminator’ universe is on hold indefinitely.”
In addition to sequels, Skydance were working on a TV series spin-off too. Sounds like that’s off, too.
