I also finally got around to seeing it and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It really nailed the feeling of D&D.
I especially love how they portrayed a Paladin. Completely badass but also utterly insufferable.
I’m bummed that the movie didn’t do better in the box office. This seems like sort of movie that would have definitely found it’s audience and earned enough money to justify a sequel back in the days of home video releases, but only pulling in $200 million in ticket sales in 2023 might prohibit another film. Really a shame.
$200 Million so far with a $150 Million budget - which vastly exceeded expectations. That's just Box office - there are other tie-ins that we won't have the numbers for. They already have a series planned which Paramount+ has agreed to distribute and they are discussing a sequel or other films now in the same universe.
Also, it released 2 months ago, we have not seen home purchase sales or rentals yet (they just became available a few days ago) and it's not on any streaming service. So all told I think you can probably expect another couple hundred million out of this from everything.
