    That's weird... what time was it at? Was there some sort of other event going on that you guys didn't know about? Heck... is it a big city?

    Okay, so where are you from exactly? What time of the day did you watch it?

    Also, anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. I went to the premiere in Sweden and a 2nd screening tonight. The theater was fairly crowded, even though it was not completely full (the city I live in is fairly small anyway).

    The box office numbers are disagreeing with you as well. It has been doing really well so far in every country that it has premiered in. We'll still have to see how much money it will make overall, but it is not going to flop with the numbers it is making right now.

    Not many people go to the cinema on Tuesday's though it'll probably make more on the weekend.

    I think this has more to do with it coming out on a Monday in the UK, most people i've spoken to who've seen it advertised but aren't die hard Warcraft fans didn't even know it was out yet.

    Yes. Tuesdays at 10. People don't really go watch movies at that time.

    I don't know why the reviews are naff, the movie its self was fairly good. I wouldn't go see it at cinema again but ill defiantly buy it when its out (rare for me to do that) i would score it 7/10

    Will be very interesting to see how it fares in the east in the next couple of days. I'm midly interested in how it does in domestic, but I'm honestly pretty much certain it won't do well here, even though word of mouth from the general audiance is good, people still care about the ''buzz of reviewers'' but we'll see, the competition is the main decider.

    Both Finding Dory and TMNT in the US are honestly a fair thing to predict to do better. Conjuring, I have no idea, maybe it pulls ahead, since it's an established sequel, but who knows. Regardless, I think the east and the general release over the next month will be what decides the future of it, not even sorely the domestic B.O.

    As we all have been saying for days now, these critics are biased towards videogame movies. There simply is no other way. What else would be the reason why so many are giving it such bad reviews, while some others give it very good reviews and some even praising it like its the best thing? It all really seems strange to me.

    And now this. This is really getting out of hand. Its just a movie and as I once found someone saying, these reviews makes it sound like Duncan ran over their dog :P

    Ah, okay. Well, I don't know much about where you live, so it is hard for me to tell the reason why it was empty. Still, the movie has been doing well. Hopefully it will continue on in a similar fashion.

    Just saw it, its not a very good movie... Its "ok". About as bad as BvS. Lots of people not even understanding how RT works anyway. Its not meaning its 2.2/10. It means 88% of the reviews were negative, pretty much after watching it i agree with. Id give is a 5/10. Meaning my score is pretty much in line with 88% of the reviewers. Im a fan of warcraft and this is still not a good movie. I also laugh at who ever said its the best CGI they ever seen......... yeah no. Then again thats kind of the point, if this is the best cgi you ever seen, its mean the better CGI fooled you into thinking they werent using CGI.

    Critic or not, that kind of behaviour is inexcusable. Not even the review from The Wrap went that low. When you manage to outdo the author who rated one of the worst anime adaptions of all time a 4/5, you have managed reached a new kind of low.

    Could anyone actually find the review with David Bowie?
