No kidding. That guy has put a hurt of a good many stories as of late. However that may be, the same routine is seen a a number of video game to movie adaptions. They make a profit but are viewed as flops.
But the video game to live action has always been a difficult sell. So difficult, that even of the movie makes a profit (and a profit into the millions) there still seen as flop movies and you will likely never see a second one and the first one is never mentioned again except in someones joke routine.
The CGI would be a must stronger way to go for blizzard if you ask me.
