D&D Movie/TV Should the D&D Movie Been Serious or Not Called D&D?

[Azzy]

Considering that everyone in my gaming group enjoyed, and that critics and general audience rated it well on RT, I would say that not calling it D&D or making it serious would not have made things better.

Also, Themberchaud is the best dragon ever!

My family and I enjoyed it. Everyone in my gaming groups who has seen it enjoyed it. I understand it’s a darn sight better than the previous D&D movies.

I don’t really care if it flopped or not. That TV show they’re making is still going ahead, right?

Near as I can tell more than 9 out of 10 people who saw it felt the same; it was a fun movie they’re glad they watched.

From a business perspective, the failings were “getting people to watch it in the first place” and “spending too much money making it.”

Hasbro wants to earn more filed within the market of preschool toys. We shouldn't be too surprised if we see in the future more toys based in D&D monsters, specially those with a cute look.

My advice for Paramount is the movies have to be ideologically neutrall.

Maybe they are awaiting the reaction when the miniserie in Paramount+ was released.

Other point is the possibles changes in D&D cosmology after the event about Vecna and obelisks.

* Is Hero Quest within D&D multiverse?

* If Simon the half-elf sorcerer marries Doric the tielfling druid then the children... what specie will be they?

If Simon the half-elf sorcerer marries Doric the tielfling druid then the children... what specie will be they?

Hmm...if we were using PF1 here and if their offspring was a sorcerer, I would say a Half-Elf sorcerer with the Infernal Bloodline.

As people tell you that Paramount is upset at the supposed failure of the movie you should be wondering why Paramount bid a large enough number for the TV show that Hasbro is selling off the non-branded part of eOne because they can make more money licensing the brands to production companies than they can distributing Yellowjackets and Grey's Anatomy; why Paramount signed Daley & Goldstein to first rights; why Paramount picked up another Daley & Goldstein project and backed the casting of Ryan Reynolds in it.

All it takes to insist that Paramount is unhappy with the movie's financials is to ignore the hundreds of millions they've committed to spending based on their association with the movie.

Since the people with the most access to the spreadsheets are acting as if it was a success and the people with the least access are insisting it's a flop when you choose who to believe your choice is between clout chasing on the internet or the people who Warren Buffett just expanded his investments in

They signed on for the TV show before the movie bombed. Also he sjow isn't out yet.

I think that it's worth noting that the Super Mario Bros. movie came out on day 6/7 of the HAT run, and that might have cut the legs down by a wide margin.

LotR cough cough. Harry Potter cough cough.

"Don't tell the elf."

"That's wizards' chess!"

Drop off rate for GAT was reasonably good.

Big problem was not enough punters week 1 for its budget.

Iirc it's from off rate was better than John Wick and Mario.
