No idea, I'm assuming they poll cinema-goers; give them a list of the films that are out in a particular week, and ask them which ones they'd go and see.

Only 3% would go and see Warcraft over the other films.

the only action movie that will be in theatres when its out is TMNT but that will be on its 2nd week, and the next release is independence day but thats 2 weeks later. its not going to lose anyone to finding dory because its not like parents were going to take their 3 year old to see Warcraft anyway.

Basically...

If BvS wasn't a success for WB then why would they announce more movies? Thats not what happens to franchises which aren't a success.

As actual financial analysts said...
>Kagan analyst Wade Holden offered an estimate of $278 million, while Wunderlich Securities’ Matthew Harrigan said that Warner Bros. will likely be “satisfied” though not “elated” by the results

The movie SHOULD have made a billion (had the reviews been favourable). But it was still a success in its own right.

Nope. He pulled those predictions straight out of his ass you gullible fool. Where's his source? I see no tangible data. Also what's the demographic of people who were asked if they did in fact ask people and what's the sample size? This is not how you come up with reliable predictions. Terrible.

oh yeah, we all know. it's been advertised full blast on nearly all sports in the US - basketball mostly because we're in the semifinals now. lots of prime time ad spots. honestly, i think audiences are somewhat fed up with big cgi-fests and this film will be the scapegoat. it will make modest money but not be a hit here. i could be underestimating the kid draw, though.

I've never wanted a movie to fail as bad as I do this one. Call me pathetic, I don't care. I put 10 years of my pitiful life into this piece of shit.

What did I get? A total butchering of the game I loved. I watched over the years as the fanbase that I grew up with was demolished in favor of retards who couldn't play worth a damn.

And now, those same retards are smug and hold contempt for good players, and deem them "elitists". I haven't played since 2014, but I still have hatred left over for Blizzard, the WoW community, and the abomination they created.

If any company deserves to taste failure, it's them.
>>
>>69791040
They are releasing a Damage Control expansion, full of shitty fanservice lore chars so they will get a decent amount of subs regardless of the movie.

That would be such an upgrade considering the game is now a facebook clone.

Also I doubt that the movie will help the game in any way, at least not at the scale you think. WoW is boring, people will come back for a month tops then never bother again and new players will play for free for one month and then get bored and quit. Anyone who wants to play that MMO isn't waiting for a movie to get convinced.
