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

[Zardnaar]

Precursor to Game of Thrones, 300 or so years before GoT. Easily the best of the current series, by a lot, at least to me.

Same think I would put it as 4th best season of GoT maybe 5th.

Shadow and Bone under rated as well. Poor Wilow.

 

[Hussar]

Ahh, no HBO Max here, so, I miss a lot of this stuff.

Then again, I find that I watch a lot of shows that people tell me are terrible and whatnot and I enjoy them quite a lot. So, apparently my tastes make me a very poor nerd.

Witcher is mediocre at best, Willow is awful, so is Wheel of Time. RoP is probably mediocre too, certainly no more than that. Galadriel might be the worst character ever. I am watching HoD and RoP, gave up on the other two. But RoP more in hopes that it improves than anything.

Was not impressed with Shadow and Bone, better than Willow and WoT, but that is not saying much.

I liked Witcher season 1 after that eh.

Shadow and Bone more or less wins second place by default. I legit liked on in its on right.

HoD is actually good.

RoP had a couple of good/ok episodes looked amazing. WoT had no good episodes and just kind of existed but it's worst stuff was better than RoP worst episodes.

Willow was kinda terrible start to finish. Sandman was really good but not quite classic fantasy.

Yes, this

GI Joe current makes Hasbro much more than D&D. It's also part of Franchise Brands.

While it isn't causation and I haven't claimed it. There is a strong correlation.
The search metrics for D&D and Honor Among Thieves are a mirror, with D&D being dramatically larger.
They did spell out how much the game made. They didn't spell out how much the franchise made.

It wasn't me either, despite your insistance.
I quoted Paramount's Q1 report and you demanded that it was me making a claim.

I was comparing DADHAT to the Transformers and GI Joe movie franchises, they wanted DADHAT to make Transformers level movie instead they got GI Joe levels, not good.

Honestly looking at what is releasing in October, they should have waited to release then.

And GI Joe won't be making more then D&D this year, not with BG3 money inflating D&Ds numbers.

The D&D movie had action figures, I don't get why BG3 doesn't yet.

Probably because the HaT action figures are not impressing anyone.

They are all being sold at discount rates by nearly everyone.

If they do anything for BG3, it'll be for the adult 'special edition' collector market.

The action figures were produced to be sold to collectors and speculators, too expensive for children. With the same money a child would be happier with a box of playmobil including several figures.

I’m no expert but I thought the figures were good quality. We have most of them.

I got the number from you but didn't know where you sourced it from.

I linked the source. You didn't read it and then said that I was the sole supplier of the data. This is unethical.

62 + 151 = 213 Million total cost. Metrics say the film had to do around $426 million at the box office to break even.

Except no studio or professional covering the industry is using the prepandemic numbers now, because everything changed.
It still failed the lower 1.5 times needed in the modern context. It is still in the Top 10 movies streaming this week in the US as well as most VoD (after 100 days)

They are all being sold at discount rates by nearly everyone.

The very few Targets that have remaining stock still have them at full price.
