Warcraft Movie to Place Third or Fourth in US Opening


The hard hitting MMORPG Warcraft got its shot in the big screen and so far not so favorable.

With Warcraft’s $160 million budget, it seems like it needs a strong box office showing. Variety reports that it has projected to make a modest $25 million, placing itself on third or fourth place for its US upcoming weekend.

The Duncan Jones-helmed film is set to place behind The Conjuring 2 and Now You See Me 2, which both open the same weekend. It is also possible that Warcraft will also get beat out by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’ second weekend as well.

Warcraft hasn’t received favorable reviews from the critics either as it currently sits at 34 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. Variety called it a “pricey and preposterous adaptation” of World of Warcraft.

If the movie heads on to flop then Jones’ idea of a Warcraft movie trilogy could become less likely to happen.
