‘Weapons’ Overtakes the ‘Terminator’ Sequel Arnold Schwarzenegger Dissed at the Global Box Office

It's a testament to just how well director Zach Cregger's Weapons has performed at the box office that it has overtaken far more expensive films during its theatrical run. This weekend, the movie passed the $250 million mark at the global box office, ahead of its digital debut on September 9. It also overtook the lifetime global box office haul of Terminator: Dark Fate, one of the biggest box office bombs of all time. It's a movie that was created specifically for fans of the original, bringing back stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger; it wasn't merely blessed by James Cameron, but counted him as a producer. And yet, it tanked horribly upon release, despite mostly positive reviews.
