Aliens sequel now officially terminated
Just realised, the BO failure of DF has surely put the final nail in the coffin of the Blomkamp Aliens sequel with Weaver/Biehn (if it wasn't dead enough already) as it was basically Aliens: Dark Fate - almost the exact same scenario ( i.e. the 'real' 3rd movie ignoring the lame sequels, bringing back previously deceased characters, older badass iconic female lead returns, fanboy director, maybe even Cameron returning to exec produce ) which would now seem like box office suicide (esp as the Alien and Terminator franchises are so heavily connected)
after the surprise hit of Halloween 2018 there was a lot of social media stuff about Weavers doing the same with the Blomkamp Aliens sequel.. and there was the general notion that if DF was also big hit (like 500m worldwide) there was a good chance that the *real* Alien 3 would be be fast tracked (as well as DF 2/3, King Conan, Triplets etc)
funny to think the 6th Terminator has pretty much done almost the same 250m box office as 6th Alien coming 4-5years after the 5th instalment did similar (TG 440m/Prometheus 400m)
