Warcraft Movie Box Office Numbers
Warcraft has been released in many markets outside of the US and is doing well!
Deadline is reporting that in 19 of the 20 markets it opened in, it was the #1 movie.
In Germany, the movie had the biggest opening of the year so far, with 45% market share.
In Russia, the movie had the second biggest opening, with 65% market share.
Variety is reporting that the Russian opening was only behind Deadpool this year, with the seventh biggest opening day of all time in Russia.
In China, ticket pre-sales for the release night are already the sixth highest ranking movie of all time.
Unfortunately the news isn't as great in the US, with an opening projection of only $25 million.

This is a bug. You should always be able to select a talent if you have none currently chosen for a given row.
In today's build, players may notice a new Inscription recipe for a single-player consumable, Tome of the Tranquil Mind, that can be consumed to allow an individual player to freely swap talents for a period of time. The materials needed to craft a Tome are vastly lower than those needed to craft the group-oriented Codex (formerly Wartome) of the Tranquil Mind, which remains as a solution for larger raid groups or guild banks that want to centralize the process, similar to the relationship between Feasts and individual food.

Legion Beta Disconnection Bug And this was suppose to be a build fix? It was better before this build.
Yes, the build contains thousands of bug fixes. Unfortunately there is one new one that is causing the disconnects you guys are experiencing. We are working to have it resolved soon™ so you can stay in-game long enough to experience other new bugs and report them too! (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Legion Minimum GCD
This build does have a 750ms minimum GCD in all cases. This is something we're trying out provisionally to see how it works on beta. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Death Knight (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator) Blood Death Knight Feedback -- Legion Beta Feedback The 20% healing was tested on alpha and it proved to be too low, why the hell change it back? So we have the most underwhelming active mitigation ever?
The 'nerf' to Death Strike was mostly a misnomer. Bone Shield is an absorb now, so counts towards Death Strike. It also effectively stacks additively with self-healing from other sources, which there are much more of now, such as from the artifact. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
It's ridiculous, no other movie I've seen has had projected opening sales so publicized, nor this wildly speculated. The most common complaint about the movie from US critics is how complex the story is, and having an ending with not so much tied up; now for those of us living under a rock, we know Warcraft had two sequels and a 11 year running MMO full of lore to plough through. Chances are if it did so damn well in 20 other countries, it'll do just fine where the game originated.
Aside from critics who know shit, the soundtrack sounds awesome
Only me that's seeing the trend here? People not subjected to the franky abysmal PR-stuff from Legendary or universal seem more accepting of what it is. I think a huge problem seems to be that (mainly) US reviewers seem to think this is supposed to be Lord of the rings : the sequel. I think it's very different movies and what they have in common is nice visuals and being fantasy movies.
Let's hope things change as it is released more outlets! It was definitely worth a watch as a Warcraft fan.

Blizzard was between a rock and a hard place
Water down the story = movie would be hollow and flop
Put too much into it = fans would LOVE IT, but the rest wouldnt, could hurt future profits
they had to go middle ground.
The problem with middle ground is that neither side is fully happy, hence why so many people leave the theatres saying "ye was cool, like to see goldshire and all these places.." well.. is that good enough?

What's downright astonishing to me is that there are "reviewers" out there - many from big-name press - who haven't even seen the film, but still are condemning it based on nothing but stuff like reading the negative reviews from smaller blogsites run by people wholly unfamiliar with the franchise.

I just left the theater 4 hours ago, I for one absolutely loved the movie. Really hoping for them to make more!

From what I'm reading, everyone outside of the US is happy with it. I don't understand why that's considered a failure.
Don't get me wrong, I've been vocal that the movie looked "off" to me, but the reviews are coming in - the movie is going to succeed, even if the US is tepid in it's response.
You have to remember that in America if it is not the next best thing than it is the next worse thing. People giving movie reviews that have not even seen the movie is unfortunately the norm and news outlets that have no business doing movie reviews are doing them to get traffic on their sites.
I don't give a damn what critics say . I waited all my life for this moment . I want to see on the big screen all those awsome heroes i loved in Warcraft games. I hope all the ppl that loved Warcraft RTS and WOW will do the same. UNITED WE STAND . Let us silence the haters once and for all.
/care for the US.....after trump comes to power it will all be over :P
Just joking.
They can say only 25 mil opening weekend. But if you see how its doing oversea's it will do better. And yes it has had bad reviews. But one of the top reviewers of the BBC was positive about it.
$25 million projection? It'll easily beat that. Even my mom is going to come see the movie with me.
25 Million isn't good? You tell me on the east coast only one movie theater is playing it, I'm in NY and the theater is in Florida lol. The movie isn't out in the USA till the 10th of June.

Movie critics in the US generally rate sci-fi/fantasy lower than other types of films. Hell they've rated things I think as garbage as the best movies ever made.
