Are you surprised how good the warcraft movie is doing?

Must be a US/Chinese thing? Not heard/seen anything about it here, must not be any marketing/media campaigns and if you asked anyone here if they had heard of warcraft they would just gaze, confused.

I wished it would do better domestically. China shouldn't be carrying the movie to a sequel.

At least at the moment I don't think it's a huge success. Maybe in China it is. It's not a terrible movie, but I think it's got a bit of bad\bland acting. I like Paula Patton, but I thought her Garona was terrible.I would prefer a little tougher\meaner more isolated and kick ass. Lothar was blah and not overly believable. Overall, I felt the Orc story had the best acting.

If there is a sequel maybe they'll be able to draw better talent and Duncan will be able to piece it together a little better now that he has more experience.

Until I see the official US numbers, The movie seems to be doing as expected in the US. I didn't expect a flop and I didn't expect a Capt America level either.

Where's the "...but the movie isn't doing well", option?

Or the "it's too soon to tell, if the movie will flop or not".

I will say, I'm not surprised it's doing so poorly domestically. It's a video game movie, Chris Metzen had a hand in it, the screenwriter (Charles Leavitt) is terrible, and it was so bad I couldn't even finish it. The reviews are spot on.

The first article I found was that the Warcraft movie "bombs with 24.4M"

the garona from the movie was a slave, did'nt not learn to fight until humans becoming to accept her, garona we see in the game has years of training behind her, i think she will become more badass with sequel going on and years passing by in the lore of the movie

It hasn't even broke $300m yet so why do you think it was such a success? It barely has any show times around here either. It's had a dismal opening in the US so far and with China ticket sale rules it's a pretty big financial bomb.

No surprise at all considering the size of the Warcraft fanbase.

[ro9ue]

I bet most of you here expected it to flop, so how surprised are you that Warcraft movie is being such a big hit?

I know you're a troll, but I think the verdict is still out on it "being a hit".

I personally loved it, but the people I went with who have no Warcraft knowledge said they were completely lost.

We have a megathread for the movie. Please post there.

Closing.
