I do wonder how the movie would had been if it had been dubbed in danish... a lot of danish dubbing is rather cringy, usually when its mixing danish and english words/terms together XD

I don't watch cable or basic TV much so I'm not sure how much air time the trailer got. But I never saw billboards or displays in malls for the movie. Even when I went to buy the action figures they were and the end of an isle which took me 10 minutes to find at Toy's are Us. Originally Posted by Anduin94

Some people I know who played it years ago look at it as a by gone era and are surprised to hear that it's still around. As far as I know none of them have watched the movie yet.

Films don't get dubbed in most international markets. And it's equally liked in all international markets. I.e., your argument is a bad one. Originally Posted by Tackhisis

Yes, but European one wasn't that better, or am I wrong? Still it was a success in Europe Originally Posted by Nathreim

What sucks is that the marketing was poor even before the reviews came out. I went that first Saturday to a 5:00pm showing at a mall theater and there were maybe 20 at the show. Originally Posted by Nathreim

The only marketing I have ever seen here in Denmark was the international trailer, 1 TV commercial (which didn't air on all channels) and then the day the movie premiered, I saw an advertisement in the newspaper (on the other side of a poor review of the movie lol) Originally Posted by Anduin94

It might be that the US just doesn't have enough WoW fans anymore to help push the rest of the population to see the movie. It's 4-6 years to late to the party. A lot of WoW fans do love the movie, or at least enjoyed it. Everyone else I ask is like, eh, I'll wait 3 months and watch it on DvD or Netflix Etc. Then they ask if I've seen star wars and have TFA on dvd yet. Originally Posted by Tornwar

Are blue ray and other sales part of the $50 million?

There is a LOT of people not upgrading to the newest and shiniest right away. Most people wait with buying new stuff until the old breaks. Originally Posted by Warhoof

They were not interested in Pacific Rim either, which I found surprising, especially with mecha anime being very popular there. Originally Posted by sinthori

Not every family care much about the super quality of a Blu-Ray when they already have a DVD player. Especially since a BluRay player costs money Originally Posted by Warhoof

The good news is: she liked the Warcraft movie and said that she's gonna buy the Extended Edition DVD as soon as it's released.
