The director doesn't make bad movies so I'll probably peep eventually 
Who else is hyped about the Warcraft movie coming out?

This shyt will flop and flop hard. Even listened to a few summer box office wager podcasts () and none of those nerds had it on their list either.
If every current subscriber buys a ticket opening weekend they only do 12 mil
They better hope its a smash overseas because i dont even see it hitting 60 mil domestic. Has no buzz
We actually talked about this in the official thread, breh.
I may have to change my box office projection based the awful marketing
Here's another good example. They showed a trailer at the PAX East conference for the movie that everybody was gushing over.
What does Universal do? They actively track down and delete the cam footage of the well-received trailer because they decided to release this shyt instead:
Another shoddy ass trailer that doesn't explain the simplest story beats with some completely misplaced EDM rock song or whatever the fukk you want to call it because some dude in marketing probably was like 'teenagers will love that kind of song, and they're our target audience, right?'. It just shows that they don't fukking understand what this movie is, who it should be marketed to and how.

Played the MMO back in 08 and I currently play hearthstone so I'll be checking it out.
Breh, you do realize there's NO HYPE for this movie??!! That's why it keeps getting delayed.

They should have upped their marketing these past couple of months. I mean damn, there hasn't been any in game promotion or visual promotion.
One would think they would be trying to get their subs back up at least.

I'm not to familiar with the game, but the movie looks promising imo. I'm probably gunna see it when it comes out
Bunch of CG with a shytty plot based on the trailers I've seen. Hopefully its good
Doubt it mattered anyway breh.
15 year old Tomb Raider is still the highest grossing VG movie. All us millenials were still teens and wanted to pop wood to Jolie when she still had the t*ts and it only did 131
China is a major player now so if they're lucky they may do 200 something ww

You sorta had history backing you up for a minute there but then you just had to go and say something stupid like that.
Fantasy movies for years now get 70 to 80% of their box office from foreign markets. Vin Diesel's The Last Witch Hunter did like 140 million worldwide and made only 27 million in the US. You know where it also made 27 million? China alone! While the Hobbit trilogy fell slightly in box office with each movie, the Chinese box office for the movies grew from 49 million to 74 million to 121 million! That's a 160% increase on each movie. The Chinese box office is absolutely on fire for fantasy and you think that Warcraft might not do 200 million worldwide? What the fukk is wrong with you, breh?
Breh even force awakens only did 125 in china.You sorta had history backing you up for a minute there but then you just had to go and say something stupid like that.

And I'm not getting into the genre debate
You were saying this movie would do a billlion a few months ago
Most people forgot this is coming out and the average moviegoer has no clue who duncan jones is.
I predict most people will opt to see conjuring 2 that weekend and then the week after finding dory crushes buildings

I don't know why Star Wars did low numbers like that when Jurassic World did over 200 million and Furious Seven did almost 400 million in China (maybe it's the season?
) but it's not my fault Universal dropped the ball on the marketing so bad. Warcraft is a billi franchise no doubt about it but as we recently saw with BvS anything can happen when incompetence takes over.They should push it back to january or FebruaryI don't know why Star Wars did low numbers like that when Jurassic World did over 200 million and Furious Seven did almost 400 million in China (maybe it's the season?

Ah yes, the ol' box office graveyard amiright?
Anyway, I think anywhere between 500-700 million is still very possible on the condition that the movie is actually good, because word of mouth is going to be the deciding x-factor here (see Edge Of Tomorrow being saved by word of mouth from its poor marketing, or BvS falling off a cliff in the Asian market after opening weekend).
If the movie is trash though, well, fukk it then. Don't hold it against me that Hollywood loves shoving guaranteed money of the table.
I'm in!
