Likely to be the biggest FLOP of Arnold's career to date...

Not intended as such... more bitter disappointment upon finding out that this is his next movie subsequent to multiple consecutive box-office bombs... IMO it is absolutely the wrong time to be trying something quirky and different like this and I cannot help but think: "what the hell was he thinking when he signed up for this?"... IMO the better strategy would have been to get back in decent shape (which ironically since filming this movie he has in fact done) and stick to his roots... do something like this later after he's regained his box-office charisma.

The problem as I see it is that the general population will see this movie precisely as I stated in my original post... and as as result it will flop despite its small budget; wherein, it will need to perform at least as well as Sabotage in order for it to not make a loss (depending on how much they spend on marketing it).

If this was the first movie Arnold did upon his return to acting that would have been way better circumstances than this being released on the back of multiple box-office failures...

For these reasons, like I said in my original post, this is likely to be the biggest FLOP of Arnold's career to date... Unfortunate, but true.

Just because a movie flops financially that doesn't make it a bad movie, it just means that not too many people we're interested in seeing it, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The 6th Day was fairly successful, no where near as successful as Terminator 2 or other Arnold movies, but can hardly be called a flop. Collateral Damage was a flop, but a rather enjoyable one. The thing is 9/11 had just happened, terrorism was a really touchy subject at the time, and this heavily affected the promotion and release of the movie as releasing right after 9/11 would have been highly inappropriate. As for Maggie, people shouldn't be so quick to assume it will flop. Don't get me wrong, I've never liked Zombie movies that much, as they're more clichéd ridden than any other horror genre, but the fact that this is a zombie with a plot that doesn't involve a small band of survivors waging war against a whole population of zombies in a post apocalyptic wasteland (as most of them have), instead having a real human story, and that it stars Arnold in what is said to be a more dramatic role than he's done before, in a genre we've barely seen him in before (End of Days is more action than horror in my opinion)is enough to interest me in seeing it, and it might do the same for others. Besides, he's just doing what so many other actors do, he's trying something new instead of repeating himself, and you got to give him credit for that.
