"Terminator" might not be back any time soon. "Dark Fate," the most recent installment in the sci-fi series, fell flat at the box office and stands to be a big money loser for Paramount, Skydance and Disney, the studios backing the big-budget tentpole. The sixth "Terminator" entry debuted with a dismal $29 million in North America and $102 million overseas, disappointing figures for a movie that cost $185 million to produce, plus $80 million to $100 million in global marketing and distribution fees. Unless "Terminator: Dark Fate" sees an exceptionally strong hold in the coming weeks, sources at rival studios estimate the movie could lose $100 million theatrically.
