The film adaptation of the video game series 'Borderlands' has had a disastrous box office debut, grossing approximately $8.8 million over the weekend, falling short of expectations and likely to be among the biggest box office failures. Despite its star-studded cast, including Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, the movie has received poor reviews and a D+ CinemaScore from audiences. Competing films like 'It Ends With Us,' featuring Blake Lively, have significantly outperformed 'Borderlands,' with projections of up to $50 million for the weekend. Directed by Tim Miller after Eli Roth's scheduling conflicts, 'Borderlands' has faced criticism for its casting and lackluster marketing. The film's budget of $115 million raises concerns about its profitability, especially without strong international sales. As 'It Ends With Us' thrives, the future looks bleak for 'Borderlands' as it struggles to attract viewers.
