D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

[bedir than]

I'm curious how DADHAT did on Monday.

Box Office Mojo has been updating at roughly 11a Pacific

Saw an article talking about a possible sequel and possibly having Drizzt in it. Must've done good enough.

Inaccurate comparison.

The Eternals is a great way to get to sleep when you have insomnia. There's way too much happening in DADHAT for it to serve the same purpose.

I fell asleep during the movie

The D&D movie directors are up for a sequel, maybe with Drizzt

I think given Simon, the actual Elminster makes sense abit more sense, but a friendly Duel between Xenk and Drizzt could be fun.

Nah, that was just Variety interviewing the directors. It's them spitballing. You can find a similar article with the Rock talking about Black Adam 2, a film that is 100% not happening.

Until it's announced, filmed hell even released take things with grain of salt.

Don't make me whip out the GI Joe numbers/track record. This movie or another D&D movie is going to be coming.

Just saw it tonight and I had a lot of fun, with the caveat that I absolutely hated the exposition dump at the start. It felt like an unwanted prostate exam. But everything after the initial exposition dump was great fun. I also went with someone who has never played a game of D&D in their life, and even they enjoyed it! Though they were weirded out by how many strange races were just casually showing up in the movie like it was no big deal. Even so, they still got a kick out it.

I'm not saying a DADHAT sequel isn't coming. I'm saying them spitballing to Variety isn't predictive of anything, unless you're posting from an advance screening of Black Adam 2.

GI Joe has a decades long established toy line to fall back on.
You forgot an IMHO.

Situations are very different.

Even if it flops a little bit *vs a bomb) they may make sequels die tovword of mouth, screening etc and they may be really determined treating part 1 as a loss leader.
