Is Arnold done with making movies?

This weekend, Sabotage brought in $5.3 million in the United States from 2,486 theaters. It was Arnold's worst opening in 30+ years and is now considered the worst ever opening weekend gross for a movie debuting in more than 2,000 theaters.

His last two movies.

In 2013, Escape Plan's gross opening weekend was $9.9 million, with only a $25.1 million US gross.

His other movie, in 2013, The Last Stand, also grossed $6.3 million opening weekend, but only brought in $12.1 million total in the US.

I wonder how much he's getting paid to do these movies? Someone keeps hiring him.

You mean like movies that require acting skills?

Yeah but its bullshit. This looks like his best movie in a long time. It will look like a flop at the American box office, but it will still make a profit in international box office, not to mention rentals and dvd sales.

Fuck the American box office. Shit movies like Twilight and Hunger Games reign supreme

Maybe I am getting too old

Can't wait for Expendables 3.

Not surprised. Arnie is too old now to play the lead action hero.
His time has now passed.

His first project should have been a sequel to one of his hits.

Yeah, like a real Predator sequel. That movie would have made a fortune.

Danny Glover? -lol

Arnold was smart when Governor. he kept on making trips to Israel on Cali's dollar and would get a bunch of contacts so when he retired and went back to movies he'd have guys lined up to fund his films.

You guys are not looking at the big picture action movies are just not making money anymore like they use to no matter who the actor is, kids coming up now are sissies they just want to see twinks in costume trying to act tough the world has changed.

Two main reasons why this movie is not doing well:

1. Audience for 80's style action movies is declining rapidly
2. Arnold is too old for the part

wolfrittner · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2014, 09:36:42 AM »

The only thing that could safe Arnolds acting career is a buddy movie with Mike O'Hearn !

Rolf will sooth Arnold during these trying times.

Arnolds plan of starting small and working back up has failed thats all. he needs event movies like back in the day, big budget high concept. He's got t5 now which is guaranteed to put him back on the map as arnold films were never small, they were spectacles. After genesis he should do big movies and take roles where the story is the star, not revolving around a central character which is the difference from then and now example he would have been perfect for world war z over brad pitt.

I heard that Ralf cups Arnold's balls when he takes a piss, so they don't inadvertently slap against his thigh and throb mildly.

Sadly this... Audience changed, old action "no bullshit CGI" flicks with charismatic actors are not big anymore, and the only true action stars are all old... Fuck Noah's Ark and those laughable CGI shitfests...

Arnold was never a good actor, but he was not as bad as people make out to be, he was fine for his roles... And today, outside Di Caprio and very few else, where are the good-great actors? Most young stars are massively overrated...

Fuck no!!! Are you crazy? I like Arnold, but that would have been a horrible choice.

Arnie may be finished, but I really didn't think Escape Plan was a bad movie.

Connery had box office success at 69 playing opposite a hot younger actress.

Connery can act and retained a lot of his bone structure.
