Look, @Clint_L, you can either listen to respected experts in the industry or you can listen to anonymous people who claim expertise on ENWorld.
It’s a success. PR wise and critically and I think financially even now. Cause I dint think it needs to make money for Hasbro just yet but that it beat expectations is probably the big win.
Means they knew what they had and they knew it was at least a certain level of “good”.
Debatable!People on ENworld can count.
Except if it flops Hasbro has tob find another idiot to pony up cash. I doubt Paramount will.
And if the movie tanks flow on merchandise sales won't be that great either. Clearance bins in a few months.
The market may not be there for an expensive D&D movie they may have to go low budget make a good movie and build on that.
TV show maybe. Season of Shadow and Bone came in under 70 million and it's one of the best fantasy shows on.
Debatable!
Point taken, however the thread is 15 pages long and I wasn’t necessarily responding to just the OP.My OP was purely about the box office numbers.
It's not do you like the movie or what do the critics think. It's basically will this movie make money by itself.
Have you moved the goalposts so far that the only way the D&D movie is a success is if it matches the fourth movie in a beloved series that has already made nearly billion in total and has spawned a spin off TV series plus already has two other movies in development?Well that article gives you the movies projected ceiling.
If it's somewhat accurate the D&D movie won't make its budget back by week 3.
John Wick made double its budget week two and had a 60%+ fall off. D&D movie prijectiin is "only" a 40%+ falloff.
