I'm so glad this movie bombed.
Can't wait for Assass Creed to bomb too, coming out the week after Star Wars lol.
Maybe then Hollywood will get the picture to leave gameshit alone, it's not going to be the next capeshit.

>>B-BUT MUH GOOKS
Because $$$ from China doesnt count? Or that a Chinese company doesnt own Legendary Pictures - the studio that made Warcraft? This isnt the 1950s where the US reigned supreme in the world and nobody else mattered. You are living in the world today where China is economically on par with the US.
FYI : James Wan has another hit on his hands - Conjuring 2 was projected to do in the low 30s and it did above $40 million - proving again that he is one of the biggest directors in Hollywood today.
>>70753233
I don't get it either. Babadook was ok but not worth $10, glad I saw itfor free. And that movie shits on most 'horror' movies.
>>70753108
Wait let me get this right.
A movie about a "horde" of immigrants invading another world, raiding the local natives, then teaming up with them because of a larger evil (Deus ex machina) wasn't popular?
Gee, I wonder why...
>>70753108
It made its budget back in two days in China.
>>70755301
>thinking threads like these aren't a response to all the vidkakino assholes that have been spamming the board
>>70755356
It made $90m in China in its first 2 days, 25% of which goes to the studio ($22.5m).
The film's budget is $160m.
>>70755356
55% of what it makes in China is lost through taxation and theater cuts.
what is this, babbies first day at business school?
>>70755407
Any source on those percentages?
90 mil is 90 mil.
>>70755356
Not really the % they get from ticket sales in China is very low.

>>70755407
>25% of which goes to the studio ($22.5m).
Wanda bought Legendary Pictures last year. The 25% that Hollywood movie studios get from China doesnt apply here since a Chinese company owns the studio that made Warcraft.

>>70755436
geniune question. do you know what taxes are?
>>70755436
>>70755459
Even if it was 50%, it's a $45m cut. The budget, again, was $160m, and that doesn't even include marketing or other costs.
To claim that "it made its budget back in 2 days in China" is bullshit, you fucking idiots.
>>70753108
Let's face it it's a pretty bad film. Remove all the Warcraft-specific elements and references and what you get is a bland, extremely messy fantasy adventure with bad actors.
>>70753108
movie was too late, 5 years ago it would've been top grossing, now no one really cares
>>70755503
Amazing how many don't realize that everything costs money.
But then again we live in a world that Sanders gets a following and people think money literally appears from nowhere.
>>70755628
>5 years ago it would've been top grossing
>this is what blizzdrones actually believe
>>70753233
I mean, I agree with you, but if they're young they've probably not seen much, which makes them unaware of the clones aspect, and for scary... well, that's subjective.
>>70755641
They live in a bubble. They played it and all their friends played it. They think everyone played it.
>>70755503
The cut is much higher than 50% in China since Wanda is entertainment congloremate that owns movie studios, is a distributor and exhibitor (it owns the largest movie chain in China just like it does in the US where they bought AMC Theaters).
When it is all said and done, Warcraft will make about $250 - 300 million in China.
It's not socially acceptable to like high fantasy in the US. It's not cool nerdy like sci-fi, capeshit and low fantasy
>>70755773
>When it is all said and done, Warcraft will make about $250 - 300 million in China.
kek
Have you not been keeping up with what's happening? The daily grosses so far have been:
Wednesday - $45.7m
Thursday - $46m +0.7%
Friday - $32.9m -28.5%
Saturday - $21m -36.2%
Sunday - $10.8m -48.6%
It's dropping like a fucking rock. At $156m through Sunday, it's going to be lucky to crack $240m at all, let alone cruise past $250m into the $300m region.
>>70753108
>GOOKS
It's "chinks" you stupid faggot. The only gook out there right now is James Wan, who's kicking Warcraft's ass.
>>70753108
Of course Ameritards won't go to see the movie that's not trending on twitter and tumblr. Their opinion makers said it's bad, not enough blacks and no gays. What if you get called racist for seeing it?

stop trying to find pretexts for why your shitty movie is tanking. It's just bad.
>>70756043
And it's shit, what's your point?
>>70755807
It has more to do with the fact is Warcraft. Only fat virgins play it and they waste thier lives doing it. At least that's what a good chunk of normies believe.
>>70756054

Blizzard as a company died when they created World of Warcraft and dumped everything else, and this also brought about a turning point in the gaming industry

MMOs are the worst thing to happen to gaming
>>70755115

Their quality isn't even relevant to the conversation.
>>70756254
Exaggerated responses play off each other well, they're both trolls.
If you have EVER played Warcraft or WoW at this point you should be made to watch the girl you like fuck a black dude at this point
>>70756294
I'm not a part of that conversation. I just want to discuss the movie.
>>70756354
Fuck this stupid ass movie
>>70756294
lotr was successful because its the most restrained example of the "high fantasy" genre.
Most of high fantasy is shit like warcraft, where people just throw fireballs (or polymorph) whenever the author needs to quickly resolve a situation, but whenever drama is being forced, suddenly magic doesn't work for literal reasons.
>>70756368
Go see the Conjuring then if thats your personal tastes.
>>70756443
>eat shit rather than eat shit
IT'S GOING TO HAVE A 4X MULTIPLIER BY THE END OF THE THEATER RUN!

>Fuck this stupid ass movie
>BLIZZDRONES YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN WHILE YOU LIKED IT
I'm done with this. It's useless to repeat points when the feedback is just "fuck you retard shit nerd fuck fuck cuck".

>>70756477
Go back to /v/ faggot
>>70756498
>Getting this mad most people don't like some movie
It's literally just a flick dude
So how much does this need to make to break even? At least 600 million right?
But what would the number be now that it is going to flop domestically, it wont even gross its budget back.
>>70756425
>lotr isn't real high fantasy
>basically describes harry potter
The problem is not the crowd not liking fantasy. The problem is vidya narratives don't adapt well to movies. Certainly not well enough that you can expect to recoup half a billion.
I read it has to make $500 million to break even.
>>70753108
>domestically
>>muh gooks
>domestically
>>70755852
>it's dropping like a fucking rock
>it's o-only made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars
>>70756637
Probably around 300-350.
But companies don't make movies to break even. They make movies to make money.
>>70753108
movie bombed cause its already on the net
>>70756706
>Probably around 300-350.
That would be if it made a lot domestically, studios get a much smaller percentage of foreign box office.
This doesnt even looks like it will make 100 million domestically
>>70753233
Horror movies are the best to watch with friends, so you can have conversations about that scary scene, talk about that friend that spilled his popcorn while watching it and make fun of the friend that screamed like a little bitch on that one scene. Basically, normies love it.
Also, they're pretty cheap to make and they always make their budget back, making them Hollywood's safest cash cow.
>>70756780
Forget 100, it won't even make $60m.
anyone else gonna watch warcraft today? i hope the theater is empty.
>>70756780
You're right, but if I'm not mistaken, Legendary Pictures is now a Chinese company (owned by the Wanda Group) so unless there's a lot of international mixing, the Chinese market should have more of an effect in this case.
>>70753233
BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
NO SHIT NIGGA THAT CRAP WILL STILL MAKE A SHIT TON OF MONEY IN EAST ASIA JUST LIKE TERMINATOR GENOCYDE DID THEY DONT GIVE AF ABOUT THE US
>>70756893
going to watch it but not in theater from what I keep hearing...
>>70756697
Dude, this movie has to make more money if they want to make sequels. 200 million is nothing for a move nowadays.
>>70756960
Aww poor nigger

retard. I can just get really close to my monitor/phone and the screen will be just as big.
>>70753108
OP should have at least used a better image
should've made it like 10 years ago when people still played the game
>>70753108
People seem to forget that Pacific Rim was more expensive, didn't make $100m domestic, only made $400m, and still made a profit and got a sequel.
Fucking Star Trek 2009 only made $370m on a $170m budget and got a sequel.
>>70753108
about that sequel....
>>70757031
My screen is big enough for that shit lel
>>70757031
>Its one of those movies best enjoyed on a big screen
Haha
>>70757147
Pacific Rim made $101m domestic.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=pacificrim.htm
>>70756780
Warcraft isn't the conventional model. Universal distributes, so it'll be the company taking the big hit for its failure here. In China its deal is with CFG which owns the theaters, so they'll get a higher cut.
Still 300-350 is conservative and it probabl won't make that.
>>70757061
lel
>>70757177
Eh, then yeah based on the comfy factor.
>>70756706
Fuck why do they even cost this much to make? Most of it is CGI and special effects. What do they do that makes it sixty million dollars expensive?
>>70757234
*six hundred million
>>70757147
>and still made a profit and got a sequel.
Yeah, that sequel that took years to get greenlit, and is STILL in "pre-production"
That shit isnt happening
And unlike Warcraft, Pacific Rim made 100m domestic
Star Trek made 257m domestic and only 127m foreign
DOMESTIC matters a whole lot more than foreign
Look at Resident Evil and Battleship, that shit stopped getting sequels because it bombed domestically
>>70757063
>Warcraft
>24m opening weekend
>Battleship
>25m opening weekend
Will Warcraft make 60 million domestic gross?
>>70757234
I agree. In fact, I'm starting to believe they're padding their budgets on these films. They can make movies that are 100% CGI for 35M, but something like this costs 160M? With a bunch of no-name actors? Fishy, something is.
>>70757368
I forgot about that shitty movie, will probably say the same thing about Memecraft some months from now
I'm pretty sure that movie would have been a ton better if they had prevented Metzen from writing it. This hack is completely devoid of any talent.

>DOMESTIC matters a whole lot more than foreign
No argument there, but the idea that a $160m movie needs to make 600m+ to make a profit is a pile of horseshit. Yes the international take is less $ for the studio, but there are secondary concerns as well for some of these films such as merchandising, licensing, distribution deals for other media types, etc... If Warcraft looks to be something that could turn into a honest franchise in China there is plenty of profit motive to keep making movies even if the movies themselves aren't the big money maker.
Anyway that Pacific Rim sequel just cast boyega, they wouldn't make that announcement without some kind of traction going on behind the scenes. It doesn't look like it's going to have the same problem that the Tron sequel did.
>>70755807
High fantasy is fine, normies just associate warcraft with the fat 35 year old living in his mom's basement stereotype.
>>70753108
>>70757453
>but there are secondary concerns as well for some of these films such as merchandising, licensing, distribution deals for other media types, etc...

You know Warcraft is already big in China right, its not going to grow anymore across the world than it is now, and China already has special deals in place when it comes to Blizzard, they've already got the market cornered because China lets Blizzard exist in their country
And the idea of Warcraft needing 600m+ is not far fetched, especially when it is going to do terribly in the US, realistically the movie only needs to make like 150m domestic and 200m foreign to break even, but that is clearly not going to happen
If Warcraft only makes 60m domestically its going to need to make close to 500-600m foreign to see any actual profit.

>>70753108

>>70758511
Based on a real story.
>>70755407
Not in this case, it's pretty much distributed by the same studio that produced the film.
>>70757570
Man how I wished it didn't look this shit.
I played the game from vanilla until MoP and fucking loved it up until WotLK.
I was hyped back in the day when they announced the film (waaay back), but I fucking knew they were going to fuck it up after I saw Cataclysm.
Fuck you Blizzard, go eat a dick Morhaime.
>>70753233
As an avid horror movie goer--you just kind of hope you'll find something different.
>>70759584
>Cataclysm
I think it's roughly at that moment that the old Blizzard died and they became the greedy, soulless fucks they are today.
>>70759584
While I'd argue it doesn't actually look like shit, Blizzard did kind of shoot any movie adaptation in the leg when they developed the lore of the original games.
While Warcraft 1 was fine as a game about orcs and humans duking it out, the way they established the background of it is ridiculously convoluted.
>For war to happen, you need to know how Orcs got the tech to get there, and why they wanted to go, so you need to know about Fel magic
>Because of Fel magic, you need to know about demons and the Burning Crusade
>You also need to know about the Burning Crusade because it's their sugar daddy that is at fault for Medivh
>For the sugar daddy to have a goal, you need to know who the Titans and the Old Ones are
>To know who they are beyond "olympians"/"Cthulhu", you need to know about the curse of flesh and the origin of Azeroth
>Alternatively you could skip the Old Ones and the Titans to give sugar daddy a motivation, but then you need to explain about Medivh's mom, and you might as well just introduce the titans and Old Ones at that point
And this is just the stuff you need to establish before the bad guy of the story gets the amount of motivation Sauron had when Tolkien established that his power is bottled up in a ring he lost.
>>70753108

The director dismissed The Lord of the Rings as something some old white man wrote in a trench, for that reason I'm not watching it. He can pander to SJW on someone else's dime.
This movie makes me sad. It has a few great things going for it, like the CGI and the Orc parts, but damnit it also has some horrible parts, like the humans.
Someone explain to me why Travis was chosen as lead? Durotan had more emotion in the first 5 secs you see him than Lothar had all movie.

>>70762089
And Warcraft didn't need to explain about the Night Elves and the Goblins and the Tauren either, but for the villain to have a motivation, Sargeras's background to a point is neccessary.
You don't need to understand where Sauron comes from to know he wants a ring, and that if he gets it, shit will get real.
When it comes to Gul'dan, you need to know his motivation is that he's working for a bigger bad, but when you know that, you need to know what that bigger bad's motivation is, or it's just shifting the core issue of the villain having no reason to do anything beyond "because he feels like it".
There's more to Sargeras wanting to Gul'dan to destroy Azeroth than just feeling like it. Some basic explanation of it has to be given for the villain's immediate motivation, or the villain might as well not be there.

Warcraft will likely end up breaking even, but that's it, there will be no sequel.
We will have a Conjuring 3 though, with a production budget of $40 million it will make a tidy profit at the box office.
However for 'Now You See Me 2' it's a bomb, it cost $90 million in production and won't come near breaking even in it's box office run, there will not be a 3rd movie that's for sure.
>>70753520
