Warcraft the Movie: r u still down w/ Azeroth?

[Dominic Brehetto]

Why is the only film people bring up ad costs? Even in the DC/Marvel threads I don't see this. We have no idea how much companies spend on ads. For Suicide Squad I've seen numbers from 100 millz to 500 millz in ad cost, that's a fukking wide gap. When most people say "I think X is going to make 700 millz" they can only use the production budget to measure the success because they haven't gotta clue about ads. Kevin Smith is the only director I've heard going into detail about this and he said the generally rule was if you have 100 millz for a production budget they spend about 50 millz on ads. Other places say it's double the production budget.

So that leaves us

:sean_:

I’m just telling you that’s what was reported

Just google Warcraft lost money

Your projection of it losing 50 millz makes you as close with your projection as @TheGodling with his

:winnie:

It made 47 mil Domestic. I never said anything about 50.

It still lost money. China loves our trash and made an unprecedented 89% of its $$$ there

This might be the worst movie in the past 5 years.

Terminator Genysis of whatever the fukk. That is probably the worst actually.

Tarzan and Warcraft.

All dog shyt.

Didnt think it was that bad. I actually enjoyed it but i never played warcraft n know nothing bout it.

Really, this movie was about Azeroth before World of Warcraft, so even most WoW players probably didn’t know the story. I’m an oldhead and I played the original Warcraft games, so I enjoyed seeing this on film. I think a lot of WoW fanboys were expecting a a WoW feel not the OG feel, so they trashed it.

 

[TheGodling]

Your annual reminder that @TheGodling predicted this would make $1 billion

Again, you are comparing my prediction of a franchise's potential a year before any footage dropped to you claiming it wouldn't touch 200 million worldwide 2 weeks before it dropped. And even then I ended up being closer because I said this could still touch 500 million while you "mocked" me.

I think your explanation explains the dislike for this movie.
So a bunch of reviewers who are bandwagon wow players and do not know the og lore. crapped on the film in mass abundance to squelch out any other fan dialogue.

Imo, this and John carter get a bad rap as far as rating within their respective genre.

Watched this today. Not a WoW fan, but playing Skyrim and watching GOT had me interested in watching this. It’s a fun movie. Ending was wack since it left me

Was it to set-up a sequel? Or the game?

warcraft is a pretty tragic story. Basically, saving the orcs stopped the end of the world but started a 1000 year war.

Just watched this. This shyt is not very good at all. They did a terrible job of blending the CGI with the actors. None of the orcs looked life like at all.

I think i posted this before, but it's based on the original Warcraft story from the pre-WoW games. Like a prequel for people who never played them.

I believe it was set up to be a 3 part sequel to basically either go the route of the movie you saw (pre WoW) to WoW in its early stages (Thrall is the leader of the horde) to what most people use as the end of the original Warcraft arc (The Lich King)

WoW is still an on going story, 2 decades later, but the base story is surrounded by a few characters, at this point they are just dragging along DLC/Expansions however you wish to say it to basically 1 big villain an expansion


Warcraft 3 basically noted all the major plot lines and endings to come which is why most people would probably look at The Lich King/Arthas/Illidan arc as the true ending


thought the movie was decent. Came out way too late past WoW prime for that crowd to care about it though
