Not what I've heard off, they did script and insight though.

Odd, I thought Blizzard did put up the 150 million for the movie. Though maybe when they sell the rights, it all goes to whoever bought it. Guess that's all tucked away in the contacts

Either way they will get a cut of the profits.

I hope it does well, so that in a few sequels from now it will have my rogue in it as the commander of the assault on alternate Draenor.

On what grounds will it be making tons of money? For all we know, Blizzard sold the rights to make the movie, which means they only get that fee and anything else they negotiated in the deal.
That aside, the company that's making the movie made a comment that Warcraft is a "problem movie" and is going to be a tough sell.
Not really. If they sold the license to make the movie, without any further negotiations, they only get their fee no matter how good or bad the movie is. Originally Posted by MyndZero

Do you not know what royalties and residuals are? Originally Posted by Thetruth1400

If you read in to the quests and such, a movie for WoD wouldn't be in a Garrison (mostly because a writers team wouldn't follow a slacking commander). Originally Posted by deniter
