‘Terminator Genisys 2’ Pulled from 2017 Release Schedule, Trilogy Unlikely

Paramount has pulled its ‘Terminator Genisys 2’ sequel from the 2017 release schedule, handing its May 19, 2017 date to ‘Baywatch’.

Back in September 2014, Paramount Pictures made a bold move by announcing two sequels for Terminator Genisys, several months before the original movie even hit theaters. The studio set a May 19 2017 release date for Terminator Genisys 2, with a June 29, 2018 release set for Terminator Genisys 3, but given the disappointing box office take of Terminator Genisys, many wondered whether these sequels would even see the light of day. Variety is reporting that Terminator Genisys 2 has lost its release date, with the studio handing the May 19, 2017 release date to their upcoming Baywatch remake.

Variety also mentions that the trilogy as a whole may not happen, but ERC Box Office claims that the movie is now simply listed as "To Be Announced (TBA)." The site's Twitter feed says that, if the studio was truly pulling the plug on the entire trilogy, they would have said the sequel was completely pulled from the release calendar, so there may still be hope for the sequels yet. The studio didn't move the June 29, 2018 date for Terminator Genisys 3 either, so it's possible these sequels may still happen.

Should've stopped making them after the second one. The rest have sucked.

Why do movie and song titles always have to be mifpelled anymore? Is that supposed to attract more people?

Do you mean Genesys? It's the name of the computer company that was Skynet in the movies, the company whose software was everywhere in every device on the planet.

Sorry, Genisys.

Sort of agree that 3 through whatever couldn't reach the level of #2, but the storyline persists. The most recent one was caught in a slew of time paradoxes, and the cast was far less effective. Too many Clarkes, for one. Arnold was a cartoon, which was a shame.

Ridley Scott should come in to see if he can salvage the franchise.
