Cataclysm Classic Hotfixes - May 1
Cataclysm Classic 4.4.0 Known Issues - Updated 2 May
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?
Dont want to takw grove guardians
New gaming PC doesnt look right
MMO-Champion
Every time the movie opens in a new region, it smashes the box office. I can't wait to see how well it'll do in the US!

It's just a rehash of Orcs vs. Humans. How good could it really be?

It's very good that it's doing so well financially. For one, it means renewed focus on the game of WoW. Also, it means there will likely be a sequel or two, which means we could eventually get some bigtime movie

Good enough to put these silly things like the good humans versus the bad beasts away for good.

The Warcraft Cult in movies is now a certified fact. Great.

2016-06-09, 09:36 PM #5DeletedI bet it has nothing to do with all the addons most countries get, like 1 months sub, main game and all expansions, like in France. Or T-Mobile giving away free film tickets to every customer. Originally Posted by Nachtigal

Chinese ticket sales are also only valued up to 25% of all other ticket sales, because the chinese law forbids any foreign company to get more then 25% of the revenue. So 100 million in china is like 25 million in the US, at best.
The film will make a profit, like "Genisys" did, but not a huge one, overall, at least not for the studio. It will cement their foothold in China though, so that is good for them.

And who cares? They already almost broke even. I bet they will in a day or two and then it's pure profit. Originally Posted by RedGamer030

Deadpool made profit within a few hours opening night. Apocalypse made profit within the first week. And here is Warcraft weeks later just barely breaking even. Originally Posted by Gaidax

I'm seeing $168 million foreign box office which is unreal. It hasn't even opened in the US or Canada yet.
Speaking of Canada, I'm going in IMAX 3D in about half an hour. Fucking hype

Lol it's a certified fact is it? Nearly all of its current box office sales are accounted for in China, where it was the widest-released movie of all time. Chinese box office sales are meaningless when you're talking about global revenues since their tax laws are crazy. Originally Posted by BenBos
It needs to gross $400 million to just break even. It's nowhere near those numbers, and isn't expected to pull in all that much in the North American market. As far as we can tell at this point it's still struggling to even reach the black.

$44 million which is worth about $11 million when you're talking about global revenues. Chinese box office sales are recorded separately for a reason. Originally Posted by jordyverk

Apocalypse opened well under projections (fourth lowest of the various X-men films). Comparing Deadpool, which had a $30 million dollar budget (less than a third of Warcraft's) is grasping for straws. Originally Posted by RedGamer030

Well considering they allow 25+ 'vanilla servers plz' topics to exist at any given time, you probably shouldn't hold your breath. Originally Posted by Kellorion

All you're really saying is that Warcraft's budget was grossly over-inflated. If its budget was warranted it wouldn't make a difference because enough people would be flocking to theatres to recoup that cost. Originally Posted by Mirishka
