Dont worry dude, go watch it, then spend the rest of your life doing damage control because it bombed and it was a piece of shit dipped in candy you faggot

>comics
pretty sure the source material is implied to be the games, not the shitty post-WoW retcons.

Said fucking who? Asianfag here and it's already premiered so I got to watch it. I was fucking surprised how close everything played out to the actual lore.
It was a fuckingfunmovie too but the ending was very lackluster.

>bombed
where did bvs bomb?
shit made like 700 millions.
if you mean critics, you should know that their voices are growing more irrelevant by the day. people go for brand recognition these days, not for the fedora tier cinema experience.
it made money, end of story.

The hidden costs need to be taken into account with any major blockbuster.
They can sometimes drop almost as much on merch and marketing as the actual film budget.
BvS was an extreme let down at the box office, barely in the red and this is a flagahip property. The entire DCU is undergoing a major overhaul to avoid the same outcome.
It was a failure. WB REALLY doesn't like the bad press either, especially considering how hard the MCU is stomping over them in critical response AND bankability.

You can use this exact defense for Michael Bay's Transformers movies

It's only a good movie for rabid fanboys that spent so much time hyping this garbage that they don't want to accept they wasted their time, yes.
the problem is China will eat it up and china money alone will guarantee it makes enough to get a sequel

so much this

There are tons of movies that "flopped" at the box office, but made huge profits running on tons of screens, and then sold a ton in rentals, streaming, and cable rights. Blade Runner has more than paid for itself many times over with rereleases and VHS/DVD/BR sales, and cable sales. I'm pretty sure the Big Lebowski went unnoticed in the theater, but blew up later as a cult classic.
Warcraft will make it's money back, no matter what. It may not be a box office hit - and for money, that's not that important.
"Box office hit!" is a marketing thing, anyway - it just sells more tickets if it sells tons the first weekend. If they get the movie on enough screens, for enough time, it will profit. It will have do really poorly, like selling 10% of available tickets a week after release, for it to fail.

Not if they add enough quips, OP

Pretty sure it had a total of $400 million budget. Studios don't get to keep all of that $700 million since the theaters get a cut from it.
