They spent $50 million and made over a billion. Once they tweak the movie for a China release (it WILL happen) it'll be up to $1.5 billion. Of course there is going to be a sequel. Along with a TON of origin stories for other DC characters.
@bigdavex: It rewrote the first movie to neuter Kyle Reese, a straight white male that was the savior of the original movie, to prop up Sarah Conner, a woman. Then takes the former hero of the story, straight white male John Conner, and turns him into the villain. Sounds like a very woke movie to me.
I thought they made it pretty clear that even if Walter didn't get shot he would have died soon from his cancer battle. I guess most people aren't very observant, though. Or they underestimate just how lethal cancer is.
