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

[FrogReaver]

Maybe it could happen like "the Bride Princess". In the begining it was a bomb, a flop, but later thanks the "mouth to mouth" it was a succes in the video rent, and today is a cult movie.

And we can't measure or cuantify with numbers the increase of popularity.

I reject to believe it was a flop. It was a fun movie, I enjoyed. It is only eclipsed by Mario Bros. It needs more time, when audience tells others it is a fun movie.

I think it will do great on streaming and video/dvd buys. But box office numbers I don’t think are going to get much better. Maybe internationally but domestically I think we have a good idea where it stands.

D&D is basically unknown in China ( I lived there). Does not surprise me that there were low numbers.

I don’t see it rising in the revenue charts within the next few weeks
Upcoming competition
Popes exorcist, renfield and evil dead are possible strong competition to knock it out of top 5 along with covenant etc
Let’s be somewhat realistic. Outside of gamers there’s no buzz for this movie. The talk of the town right now is Mario. Then you’ve got playoff for basketball etc so a good chunk of the average viewers are not choosing this like they would LOTR
I have hopes that we could get future d&d movies but I think this 1 is a one off. I’ll be really curious if say critical role did a animated movie would it do better

Yeah it's numbers prerelease we're specifically low. China is the worst market AFAIK for returns %. Iirc 75% stays in China.

Honestly surprised they let the movie air there, considering there’s a whole scene dedicated to reviving the dead… isn’t that sort of thing usually a big no-no in China? Hong Kong Disney doesn't have a haunted mansion ride because ghosts are kind of a big deal.

Not as absolute as internet believes.

They only let in a certain amount of US movie a year, so it’s surprising they went for this one. I wonder what it was rated over there.

Don't know it's completely arbitrary based on the powers that be on any particular day.

Should have spent 50 million dollars more to have the crew teleport to Hong Hong for 20 minutes for no reason.
