Genisys may have signalled the end of Terminator series
Terminator: Genisys has made around $440 million worldwide with just $89 million taken in the US. The Hollywood Reporter says that this, in combination with its $150 million production budget, has caused Paramount to shelve the sci-fi franchise as it's still on course to lose money.

Forbes magazine suggests that Hollywood studios only receive 20-30% of receipts from Chinese cinemas rather than the 50% they’d get in other territories. This would explain why US success is the standard to which studios are holding their movies.
