Why it will be huge: The fourth "Terminator" film starring Christian Bale was supposed to kick off a new franchise in 2009. Paramount hopes to do it again next year with "Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke ("Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"), and Matt Smith ("Doctor Who").
Although Schwarzenegger's last few original films have bombed at theaters ("Sabotage," "The Last Stand"), his ensemble films, particularly "The Expendables" franchise, perform well. His return to the "Terminator" franchise and the storyline of the original 1984 James Cameron film should help unite original fans with a new, younger generation.
The highest-grossing "Terminator" movie was 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" making $519 million worldwide.
