Despite its commercial failure, the Borderlands movie had a positive impact on Take-Two Interactive's sales.

When announcing its latest financial results, Take-Two Interactive was forced to raise a rather painful subject. The subject was, of course, the feature film Borderlands.
The American company reported that the film's commercial performance was "disappointing ”. It is said to have earned just $33 million worldwide, against an estimated budget of $145 million (including marketing and distribution costs).
However, Take-Two believes that this has not had a major impact on the company's results. In fact, it benefited the saga's video games, which saw their sales boosted by the adaptation's release. No figures were given, however.
