The Borderlands movie had a budget of $120 million, not including all of the expensive marketing surrounding its 2024 summer blockbuster release. Despite a stacked cast that included Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, the movie immediately bombed at the box office, making back barely a quarter of its production cost. The video game adaptation was a chaotic mess that was a letdown to existing fans and exceptionally chaotic for average moviegoers. Director Eli Roth suggests it was the studio’s fault.
