"Terminator Genisys" got off to a rough start at the box office opening weekend

After the five-day holiday weekend, the film grossed $44.2 million domestically at theaters, marking one of the lowest openings for the "Terminator" franchise.

While poor reviews for "Genisys" didn't help, the failure of "Genisys" to take off state side could be rooted in something else.

Schwarzenegger is not a big star domestically anymore. 

Here are the box-office opening weekends for Schwarzenegger's last five films. We're leaving "Maggie" off of here since it was a limited release in 79 theaters.

MovieRelease dateOpening WeekendEstimated budget
"The Expendables 2"8/17/12$28.6 million$100 million
"The Last Stand"1/18/13$6.3 million$45 million
"Escape Plan"10/18/13$9.9 million$50 million
"Sabotage"3/28/14$5.3 millionn/a
"The Expendables 3"8/15/14$15.9 million$90 million

And here are the worldwide grosses for them, broken down by domestic vs. international gross.

While the numbers for Schwarzenegger's movies are low state side, "Sabotage" aside, they pick up overseas.

MovieWorldwide GrossDomestic GrossInternational Gross
"The Expendables 2"$305.4 million$85 million$220.4 million
"The Last Stand"$48.3 million$12 million$36.3 million
"Escape Plan"$137.3 million$25.1 million$112.2 million
"Sabotage"$17.5 million$10.5 million$7 million
"The Expendables 3"$206.2 million$39.3 million$166.9 million


The 67-year-old actor is just a bigger foreign action star.

So it's not a huge surprise Paramount Pictures, which released the film, did a lot of marketing for "Terminator Genisys" overseas in countries including Brazil, Germany, Australia, and France.

The film has yet to open in Germany, Japan, Spain, and China. The latter has become a huge source of box office dollars.
