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

[Henadic Theologian]

Oh, the estimates for the weekend just dropped.

Domestic #5 with 5.4m, a drop of less than 30%
International was a bit lower than I expected, but still brought it up to 96m (so just under 12m). The best international market is the UK, where eOne has distro rights and where eOne started as a company.

barely under 178m

EOne I believe started in Canada and its still head quartered in Toronto.

Ah, yes. You are correct. It turns out my mistake was them being listed on the London exchange.

I don't have any insights for the hit/flop 'debate', nor any real opinion, but...

I finally have some free time coming up on Monday and had intended to go see the film then, only to discover that my cinema has two showings a day until Sunday, then one more showing on Thursday, and that's it. Looks like I'm going to be missing out.

I managed to find another near-ish cinema that had a showing I could attend, so I saw the film yesterday. There were a grand total of five people in the audience, but given that it was midday on a random Monday, that probably doesn't say anything useful!

Interesting that Mexico is the 5th largest International box office after UK, China, Germany and Australia. Maybe because of having a strong (literally 18 strength) Latina lead?

I know, I went to the cinema and everything! And yes, I laughed at the owlbear. Come on. Owlbears are amazing.Music: Imperial Forces - Aaron Kenny

Now the box office is 180M$. It is now so bad when the main rival, Mario Bros, is a record-breaker.

Mario hasn't taken much money off HAT. They had a reasonably good drop off rate.

I think that there is no more doubt that HAT is a box office flop. Big hole for streaming and home sales to cover, but that remains to be seen if it is enough.

I think that there is no more doubt that HAT is a box office flop.

Which is a shame given that both critics and audiences rated it fairly highly.

I agree, I would love to get more films with these characters though I have my doubts it will happen unless VOD and merchandise sales really pull through and bring in big money for Hasbro and Paramount.
