Terminator: Dark Fate gick inte så bra på biograferna när det väl begav sig, som enbart kammade hem 29 miljoner dollar. Till The Hollywood Reporter berättade filmregissören Tim Miller att man förmodligen skulle kunna skriva en hel bok om vad som gick fel med filmen, men att han ändå var stolt över den.
Det framkom också att det pågick ständiga kreativa konflikter mellan Miller och producenten James Cameron. Det bråkades om allt från enstaka repliker till framtidsvisioner och beklagar sig över att han inte alltid fick kontrollen som en regissör bör ha:
"[I suggested] Legion is so powerful, the only way to beat it is going back in time and strangle it in the crib. Jim says, 'What's dramatic about the humans losing?' And I say, 'Well, What's dramatic about the humans winning and they just need to keep on winning?' I like a last stand. It's not his thing."
"Even though Jim is a producer and David Ellison is a producer and they technically have final cut and ultimate power, my name is still on it as director, Even if I'm going to lose the fight, I still feel this obligation to fight because that is what the director is supposed to do. Fight for the movie. The lights come up, and there was a lot of stuff that I had cut that Jim thought was important and scenes we'd shot that we'd had disagreements on. But the lights come up and Jim says 'we've got a movie.'"
Medan Miller och Cameron verkar ha grävt ner stridsyxan så menade regissören att han inte skulle arbeta med Cameron i den sortens omständigheter igen:
"I can say no, but it has nothing to do with whatever trauma I have from the experience. It's more that I just don't want to be in a situation again where I don't have the control to do what I think is right"
"I just got an email last week from Jim, who said, 'I know we clashed a little bit. I put it all down to two strong, creative people with differences of opinion and I think it made the movie better. I'll be back in L.A. in December. Let's go get a beer'"
