Honestly I suspect the 2 biggest reasons the film stumbled at the box offices were 1. Release timing. Way too many movies coming out around that time, with films that were already fairly large film franchises or big media franchises, like Creed 3, John Wick 4, and Mario. 2. Does the general...

Even though it probably didn't get a "wow" reaction from the community I thought standardizing what levels every class gets subclass features was a good move for streamlining the game. It could also allow things like subclasses that work across multiple classes.

Yeah I imagine that the Super Mario movie took up all the premium/higher priced screens from Honor Among Thieves after it's first weekend and kept them to itself given how well Mario did, which really hurt HAT box office take.

New York Times has an article about Universal's VOD strategy, which includes Universal talking about how much some of their recent movies have made on VOD. Unfortunately it is paywalled but some relevant quotes here: The top grossing movie of the year, Super Mario, made around $75 million...

Ehh I want to see the film succeed because I loved it and want a sequel. I'm also being realistic based on it's box office numbers. It probably lost a good amount at the box office based on its budget and marketing costs. I hope it makes enough at the secondary markets to get a sequel but I'm...

A Steam page for BKOM's second Pathfinder game just went up. It appears to be a Vampire Survivors type game. Personally I enjoy Vampire Survivors but I'm disappointed that neither of the 2 announced Pathfinder games are CRPGs using the 2e rule set.

It will probably eventually stream for free on Prime in the US. Amazon and Paramount seem to have a deal to eventually stream their films on Prime after Paramount Plus, I watched both Sonic 2 and Top Gun Maverick on Prime for free. It's not the same day as Paramount Plus though.

Pretty much all Fox shows (at least the ones made by their studios) are going to be on Hulu, they were part of the Hulu joint venture before Disney bought them. Arrested Development isn't but that's because Netflix paid to produce the 4th and 5th seasons.

Honor Among Thieves will be on Paramount Plus starting tomorrow:

I really doubt D&D hitting #1 on the VOD platforms is really all that "meaningful". It's a new, big budget blockbuster. I can't imagine any new big blockbuster not hitting #1 on release week on VOD platforms. The vast majority of sales on those platforms on any given week are either going to be...

The factor of 2 is accounting for the theater's cut of the ticket sales. Movie studios like to keep contract terms close to the chest but studios take 60%+ of domestic sales (in was a big controversy when Disney asked for 65% for the Last Jedi ticket sales) while they get less overseas due to...

I don't really mind the different bonuses and penalties in Pathfinder 2e but I only play it in Foundry where most of it is already done for you. I wonder how I would feel actually playing it on a tabletop. Advantage and disadvantage might just be better in that situation. I think it would be...

The trailer only has the Steam logo, I'm guessing it's coming to PC first and will eventually be ported to consoles.

One important thing to note about Knives Edge franchise is Netflix was paying for production for 2 movies plus extra to make up for the fact they wouldn't be going to theaters (as as far as I know blu-ray/VOD/TV) so they were paying a premium for Knives Out 2 and 3. One interesting guess on...

Nah. Even when companies release products I like I think it's important to criticize and push back on bad decisions, and Wizards has sure had a few major bad decisions in the past few months. If people roll over to bad, anti consumer decisions they're just going to push further and further...

I see it's up on Vudu as well: https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/Dungeons-Dragons-Honor-Among-Thieves/2303302 I'll probably wait for a sale or until I can get a cheap digital code for it off of Reddit but I'm looking forward to watching it again.

For whatever reason this popped up in my mind, but the director of the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot (which had a similar budget as the D&D movie, around $150 million) made a comment on what that movie had to make at the box office to break even in an article...

Seeing as how the trailer only has the Steam logo I'm guessing it's PC first then they'll port it to consoles eventually.

Yeah I can't say I'm interested in a hack n slash arpg. Give me a turn based crpg with the 2e rules.

At minimum I expect GotG 3, Fast X, The Little Mermaid, Transformers, The Flash, Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible, Oppenheimer, maybe Barbie, maybe Haunted Mansion, Dune 2, the Marvel's, Hunger Games, Aquaman and maybe Ghostbusters to hit $200 million or more this year, beating DnD at the box...
