Hasbro Quarterly Report

[AnthonyRoberson]

Does anyone have access to the recently released Hasbro Quarterly Report? If so, is WOTC mentioned at all?

I can’t believe they even brought up The Rouse’s defection!

heheh

But really, I love reading those because it really lets you know how truly unimportant D&D is to Hasbro and how little day to day (or month to month for that matter) input they have in the operations at WoTC.

Are we really surprised?

Transformers brought in $800+ million worldwide. GI Joe brought in 300+ million itself.

Yeah...if I'm an analyst I'm really going to be asking about WOTC much less D&D.

heck, i'm pretty sure Risk, Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble, Candyland, and the other board games brought in more revenue than D&D.

Especially with that aforementioned "Family Game Night" that Hasbro is advertising.

Although, while I think Monopoly and Scrabble might actually exceed D&D in revenue, I'm not so sure about Risk, Clue and Candyland. The former two especially have never been as big a seller as the big two boardgames, Monopoly and Scrabble.

Well, of the ones you mentioned Candyland and Monopoly are getting major movies (Ridley Scott is doing Monopoly) as well as Battleship, Ouija and Stretch Armstrong. I don't see quite the same push to get another D&D movie out there (or new D&D TV series).

It's good to know the Potato Head line is going strong.

If they can get George Clooney as the Scotty Dog and Angelina Jolie as the hat, I am so there.
