Terminator: Dark Fate fizzles with $40 million debut

LOS ANGELES -"Terminator: Dark Fate" shot past box office competition but still fell short of expectations as Paramount and Skydance Media's sci-fi sequel debuted to US$29 million in North America.

International audiences could give the film a boost. Overseas,"Terminator: Dark Fate" earned another US$72.9 million. They were joined by new cast members Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes and Gabriel Luna. In this installment, Sarah Connor must protect a young girl from a deadly new Terminator from the future."Terminator" might not be the only film with a dark fate at multiplexes. Edward Norton's"Motherless Brooklyn" barely cracked the top 10, generating a paltry US$3.6 million when it bowed in 2,720 North American theaters.

Older female moviegoers drove"Harriet's" opening weekend sales: 62% were women and 59% were over the age of 35. African Americans accounted for nearly 50% of ticket buyers. "Harriet" centers on Harriet Tubman , the abolitionist who led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Kasi Lemmons directed the film, which also stars Leslie Odom Jr., Joe Alwyn and Janelle Monae.

Adds producer Debra Martin Chase,"This is not a slave movie. This is a movie that says we cannot control the circumstances into which we are born, but we can control what we do once we get here."
