Honor Among Thieves being on Prime has nothing to do with the success or failure of the movie. Paramount and Amazon have a deal to bring their new movies to Prime a few months after Paramount Plus. I watched both Top Gun Maverick and Sonic 2 on Prime because of that deal.

I have to disagree to an extent on John Wick 4, if you look at the box office of that series it wasn't exactly hard to predict that 4 would be a hit on at least a similar level of 3 if it didn't do better, the series only did better and better with each entry and 3 was already fairly successful...

Yeah 2024 likely won't have as many big releases and it might have done better but it's hard to say what kind of deals Paramount had in place with their non Hasbro financiers for the film and some of their merchandise partners.

Yeah I'm sure Hasbro has high expectations for the VTT. It's very clear they're spending a ton of money on it and it will have a lot of ongoing costs, with them having to add new 5.5 content including I'm sure full adventures.

Well yeah, they spent a ton on DnD Beyond and the VTT looks like they have a bunch of programmers and artists working on it. It's clear they're spending a ton on digital and are expecting that to pay off.

I doubt Paizo had high expectations for Enhanced sales, it was probably just something to get a bit more cash out of existing content before 2e.

Oh yeah I'm sure Starfield was a huge reason for the release date change for the PC version. Apparently reviewers are only getting review codes 4 days before launch so I'm expecting the game to come in hot with bugs and issues like so many other releases these past few years.

Yeah many superhero movies and other big budget films are now over $200 million so "only" $150 million was pretty reasonable all things considered. And honestly I thought in general the film looked great and you could really see the budget on screen (aside from the halflings looking really badly...

I think having the Paladin worked better than Drizzt ever would have. He was clearly meant to be an overpowered DM PC and he was perfect in that type of role.

I got to disagree about how you feel about the movie. I loved the characters, the world and lore was great, the humor was strong, and the tone of the movie was pretty similar to ever D&D/TTRPG I've ever played.

Variety is an movie industry trade and they're interviewing the CEO of Paramount. They are going to frame something like phrasing about the way a film did the way he wants, they obviously are going to want continued access to him and his company. You kinda also have to read between the lines...

After a Decade in Limbo, Brian Robbins Is Giving Paramount a Makeover With ‘Ninja Turtles,’ Tom Cruise and ‘Gladiator 2’ From a Variety article that interviews Paramount's CEO Brian Robbins: "Even a star’s ability to make audiences swoon isn’t always enough to guarantee that a movie will make...

Honor Among Thieves will be available to stream through US Amazon Prime next month: https://www.vitalthrills.com/prime-video-august-2023/ This is part of an existing deal Amazon has with Paramount.

I for one am looking forward to Edgin showing up in the post credit scene of Barbie.

If they do add rolling I imagine they'll add an achievement for re-rolling your stats 100 times or something like that.;)

It is in early access on Steam so you can buy it and play it right now if you want to.

Oh yeah while Baldur's Gate 3 is going to sell very well Starfield will be massive on PC and moving it from being a week away to being a month away means more PC gamers will pick up both at launch instead of choosing only one.

Hopefully since they're making changes they release a manual or list of all of their class/subclass/spell features before release so I don't have to spend hours at the character creator.

Yeah give the PS5 version was actually delayed a week I imagine the PC build is much further along.

Larian has always been a very PC focused developer so hopefully this means the PC version is in good shape.
