Part 4/5:
The dismantling of Borderlands was swift. Just 21 days after its theatrical release, the movie was slated to go straight to digital platforms. This rapid transition is a sign of surrender in Hollywood terms, indicating that the studio does not expect the movie to recover or perform well in theaters or subsequent markets. Essentially, the industry is waving the white flag, acknowledging that the film's fate is sealed and further theatrical runs would be futile.
