One major reason why another Terminator movie probably won't happen: simple Hollywood economics. Though Terminator 3 under-performed, grossing less than predecessor Terminator 2, Salvation, and now Genisys, were out-and-out commercial failures. And that, in Hollywood, is the ultimate no-no. A Hollywood blockbuster can offend its audience, have critics to declare it the worst film ever made and cause viewers to leave in droves before the halfway point - but as long as those people went to the cinema in the first place and paid for their tickets, then there's absolutely no problem, and you should probably expect a sequel. If a blockbuster fails to break the bank, however, then that's a different story altogether; when a film fails to make the cash it was expected to make, in Hollywood that's called an outright disaster. The Terminator franchise has two strikes already - whether studios will take a punt and risk strike three is uncertain, but the numbers for Genisys (on track to becoming the lowest-grossing Terminator sequel) definitely don't look good.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
