Unfortunately, Schwarzenegger didn’t take the negative reception well. According to Variety, he said, “When Last Action Hero came out, I had reached my peak after Terminator 2, having the most successful movie of the year worldwide. Terminator 2: Judgement Day earned $31.8 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend, finishing with a total of $520.9 million worldwide. At the time, it was the third-highest-grossing film ever, after Star Wars and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”
James Cameron recalled speaking to him after Last Action Hero hit theaters and said, “He sounded like he was in bed crying. He took it as a deep blow to his brand. I think it really shook him… I said, ‘What are you gonna do?’ He said, ‘I’m just gonna hang out by myself.’ That’s the only time I’ve ever heard him down.”

It’s so damn good, and the switch from Hollywood reality to real reality is awesome.” Another said, “If it hadn’t come out a week after Jurassic Park, it could’ve done better.
