Terminator Producer Says Franchise Is Not On Hold But Just Re-Adjusting

Rumor has it that the disappointing domestic performance of Terminator Genisys has squashed plans for future installments in the series. Speaking at a leadership conference for TheWrap, Skydance Media Chief Creative Officer Dana Goldberg says the franchise isn’t dead as much as readjusting. “Do we intend to have a next step of Terminator? Yes, we do,” Goldberg said. “I wouldn’t say on hold, so much as re-adjusting.”

While Genisys underperformed domestically, it did stellar at the worldwide box office, bringing In $350 million overseas.

“We’re ultimately happy with overall worldwide numbers. Do I wish we would have done better domestically? Absolutely,” said Goldberg. “Happily, we live in the world where the domestic number had a level of importance 10 or 15 years ago — I’m not saying it’s not important, it is — but we have to play to a worldwide market. In terms of Terminator, the worldwide market paid attention, but we’re not taking the domestic number lightly.”
