Aug 24, 2015 6:55 PM UTC _The Terminator_ is back. Box-office-wise, at least. _Terminator: Genisys_, the fifth installment of the sci-fi franchise, had a middling box office performance in the U.S. after opening ahead of the July 4 weekend. But it has proven much more popular with audiences in China, where crowds have flocked to see Arnold Schwarzenegger back in action. According to [_Variety_](http://variety.com/2015/film/box-office/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office-records-1201576476/), after a U.S. opening weekend of $27 million (compared to _Jurassic World_’s opening weekend take of nearly $209 million), _Genisys_ opened in China on Sunday, grossing $27 million in just one day. Sunday’s draw across 25,000 theaters was the fourth-biggest opening day for a U.S. release in China. _Terminator: Genisys_ has now grossed $335.1 million worldwide, with around 75% of earnings coming from outside the U.S. Next up for a possible smash at the Chinese box office? _Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation_—the fifth installment in another long-running, high-grossing action series—which will look for the same kind of performance when it opens in China on Sept. 8. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/"},"headline":"One of the Summer's Biggest Box Office Flops Makes a Comeback in China","datePublished":"2015-08-24T18:55:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:12.527Z","description":"After a middling performance at the U.S. box office, the Schwarzenegger vehicle finds fans in China","url":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","China","Box-office","Arnold Schwarzenegger"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd758e7e0435ac90d/6988609e524fc014fbdf4323/arnold-schwarzenegger.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd758e7e0435ac90d/6988609e524fc014fbdf4323/arnold-schwarzenegger.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Arnold Schwarzenegger signals at a screening of the Terminator: Genisys on August 18, 2015 in Shanghai, China.","caption":"Arnold Schwarzenegger signals at a screening of the Terminator: Genisys on August 18, 2015 in Shanghai, China.","creditText":"Kevin Lee-- Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/","name":"One of the Summer's Biggest Box Office Flops Makes a Comeback in China"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Top 5 Underrated Sci-Fi Movie Masterpieces","description":"Steven James Snyder, Techland's resident movie geek, outlines the top 5 most under-rated sci-fi movies of all time","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/xe99vdU4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-01-11T22:26:40.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/xe99vdU4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/","duration":"PT4M45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4008498/terminator-genisys-chinese-box-office/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
