Game-Debate writes: "Even before it was released, Borderlands was one of the most discussed games here at Game-Debate. Arguments, which may or may not have been started by yours truly, took place in which someone (i.e. me) suggested it could just be a Fallout 3 clone. Here I will concede that this wasn't correct but I wasn't incorrect either! (Here, I'm subscribing to the man's school of not being wrong.) As an action-RPG Borderlands does share similarities which Fallout 3 and other games in the genre with open world gameplay, plenty of quests, levelling up and a lot of killing things on the way. While, for the most part it isn't revolutionary, Borderlands is still a very enjoyable experience that doesn't take itself too seriously with an array of comic style characters."
Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.
"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"
Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.
No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)
So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
