Predict? The movie has already been out for a week. It is quite documented that it did not do well at all at the box office and will likely be a top 10 of the year flop along with Gods of Egypt, Ben Hur and Deepwater Horizon.
shareWell, in North America it should make $40-45M or so.
shareThat would be disaster. I would of hoped it would have better legs than what Warcraft did but if it only makes that then it would have to have over a 75% drop over the second weekend, but bear in mind that the first weekend was the Christmas weekend.
shareIt may make less it only made 10.3 million over the actual weekend. It's off to a very rough start the movie may break even if fox is lucky!
shareWarcraft is a GREAT picture (and, btw., for example, so's The Scorpion King (2002), http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277296/, - for its time!..:))
... If people, whoever, don't - or, didn't - like it: really, it's their problem. The rest of us have gotten an awesome experience and something really cool to see.
Domestic: 40-50M tops. 22M after six days was an awful result.
Overseas: 250-300M. China won't save it from an embarrassing flop like it did to Warcraft. Basically zero promotion there.
Fox can lie about the 125M budget (LOL at this huge lie) and maybe even reduce it to 100M, it won't break even by any means.
What sort of numbers were Ubisoft and others expecting or aiming for?
