Why a New "Terminator" Movie Is a Big Opportunity for Viacom

Better start brushing up on your Arnold Schwarzenegger impression: "I'll be back."

Viacom (NASDAQ: VIA) (NASDAQ: VIAB) and its Paramount Pictures division are resurrecting the Terminator franchise for another go on the big screen. The company has tried, and failed, to bring the famous time-traveling, science-fiction series back to prominence before, but it's taking a different approach with the new installment that could pay off in a big way.

With its media networks facing a challenging outlook and its movie business in need of hits, the new Terminator film looks to be one of Viacom's most important entertainment productions.
