[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 9091138, member: 7030526"] Okay at minimium DADHAT did poorly (but not awful) and in terms of easily quantifiable numbers the merch wasn't enough to make up for the loss. Let's not pretend Paramount is thrilled about it when they wanted it to be a billion dollar franchise. BUT it did amazing in reviews with audiences and critics and did well on VOD and Streaming so its not a complete loss. It's cleaned the taint of D&D movies past at minimium and built a foundation they can build from long term. They need a realistic budget, they need to figure out everything that went wrong with the otherwise well received movie, and clearly they need more gay bear on vampire elf sex/jk. Honestly for now I'd focus more on anime like shows and movies like CR has, till they figure out where to go from here. And dump the D&D from the name, it's a game system, not an actual setting itself, it just leads normies into thinking this just a D&D Jumanji. I still maintained it should have been called Forgotten Realms: Honor Among Thieves. And maybe they should have targeted a more adult audience instead of family friendly. And for the love of the Gods no emasculation none sense. Heck maybe do an animated movie for BG3, look at how Spiderverse did, animated movie and make big money, and it's got a baked in fan base and voice actors all ready. [/QUOTE]
