In a January article by Gabbing Geek’s own Ryan Garcia, he predicted the 2015 Top Ten Grossing films (domestic). Rule of thumb says that to crack the top ten, a film will need to surpass $200M+. Some of Ryan’s picks were right. Some were wrong. Where will we wind up and what could spoil Ryan’s top ten list?
Reports of the Terminator’s demise may be premature. Genisys’ performance in the US has certainly been on the weak side but movies are show business and the numbers aren’t as bad as we once thought. Find out why after the break!
Terminator: Genisys faces an uphill battle to get a sequel after a horrible opening weekend left it with a long slog to hit $100 million domestically.

Judging by this weekend’s box office it looks like the Terminator won’t be back and that’s a shame.

Unfortunately, even Terminator Genisys can’t avoid some time travel problems. So after the break we’ve got the top 6 mistakes made by an otherwise entertaining summer flick.
