In the spacious lounge, Bale sat alone, his mind somewhat hazy.
There was a knock on the door, and the agent outside reminded him, "Fifteen minutes, and the event will start."
Coming back to his senses, Bale responded, "I know."
The upcoming event was an important roadshow promotion for "Terminator 2018."
The Santa Monica Commercial Plaza had seen classic scenes from the Terminator series, where John Connor first encountered T1000 and T800.
Therefore, the first roadshow in North America after the film's release was arranged here.
But Bale couldn't muster up any enthusiasm because the opening weekend in North America grossed only $42.25 million!
Compared to his arch-rival Martin Davis's new film after "The Dark Knight," the opening weekend's box office hadn't seemed to fall by much.
