Talk about conspiracy theorist. Nearly all your food is GMO. Farmers created hybrid corn and other vegetables before your parents were born. But if eating hybrid wheat caused less people to see the movie in the USA then start burning the fields.You must've missed Warcraft being shown on TV commercials for months. That costs $$$$$$$. Lots of it.

Domestic box office hasn't been the #1 source of return on investment for movies for at least a year now. There's a reason everyone's favorite director Michael Bay has been courting China at least far back as Transformers 4. If Warcraft makes hundreds of millions of dollars overseas, we can't discount those box office returns because "wasn't in 'Murica so dudn't count!" At least for big-budget, blockbuster type movies, Hollywood is a city that exists half in California and half in northern China.
Flopped in America, but in Europe and China its running pretty good. It was obvious that Americans don't like a Movie without Guns and Explosions! But they like shitty Movies like Iron Man or Jurrassic Park 2016
I'm pretty sure this movie made more in one month than everyone in this thread did in a year.
Nobody knows. We all have access to the same information, there's just a faction of people who look at the information and say, "holy shit, this movie did great can't wait for the sequels!" (typically fans), then there's another faction of people who look at it and say, "it did well but I'm unsure whether it's hit the mark necessary to guarantee sequels yet" (typically described by fans as haters).
I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. The movie has done well but I think if a sequel is greenlit it might remain in development hell for a long time before we see it. (Think 2018-2019 at the earliest.)
I too despair for the future of humanity as your post displays such ignorance there is no hope for your ilk.
160m was just the production budget for the film. That does not include marketing and promotion. This movie needed to make 450m to break even.
A lucky China opening only saved it from being the worst financial disaster of a film ever. As it stands it was just a 70 million dollar loser.
Floppity, Floppity, Flop Flop Flop.
These threads are funny, like, great examples of how bad at math people can be.
ah well, please do not forget that the DVD is not even released, yet. If everyone stating he is "excited" for a possible "director's cut" will spend 15 bucks on a BluRay/DVD, I have high hopes.
Besides, executives kind of confirmed a sequel. I'm going wild and will just assume that they do know more about their revenues
But well, if I take your post, THAT is a floppity floppity flop flop (a third "flop" just doesn't sound right).
Box office mojo doesn't update foreign ticket sales as often as it does domestic. The $380m number is 3-4 days old so take that lower than the actual sales as of right now. There's a good chance it's near 400m or higher right now.
Also since ticket sales aren't 100% revenue 70m short on sales isn't a 70m shortfall for the movie itself, it would be closer to 35m approximately.
lol I love how the creator of this thread is banned and yet people are still posting in it.
