The Lion of Stormwind is supposed to ROAR! The movie also threw too many 'Hollywoodisms' in there - the forced Lothar's Son subplot, the Garona/Lothar Romance, and flat characters. The first War ended with Stormwind razed, and Great Portal open. The protagonist of the first war was actually Orgrim Doomhammer - Durotan was the decoy protagonist who gets offed to let Doomhammer step up. Gul'dan was the man behind the man, but didn't ascend to Screen Villain until the Second War. The antagonist of the First War was Blackhand. But they got the protagonist, antagonist, and all the characters wrong.

Wows audience isn’t big enough for a movie of that cost to be successful if current fans are the only ones to see it) (Assuming you didn’t read the books in these examples like people who didn’t play the game. Then you go back and show earlier lore after people already are fans GoT is another example where you step into it not knowing how deep the lore goes at the beginning and you get context on the families as you go along. You would need to do some flash back or introduce the world at the beginning once people like the characters or are interested in the story they’ll want to go back and see what lead to this point. Kind of like lotr not starting with the hobbit you reference it but you go back and do the less exciting prequel plot later. It wouldn’t have to follow that exactly but starting the story there would’ve been more successful. I mean starting at the beginning of Warcraft 3 reign of chaos. You’re thinking of starting at Warcraft 3 the frozen throne. This is the studio that tried to make a 'Monster Universe,' and you think they wouldn't have greenlit the sequel on a profitable film? If Legendary and Universal saw a profit out of Warcraft, there would have been a second one. I'm not talking about Distribution Fees and exagerrated marketing expenses, I'm talking about the actual revenues that the film distributors see. Like, I don't know what to tell you, but you're out of your depth here. So the Harry Potter movie pays Warner Bros for a 'Distribution Fee.' But that Distribution Fee isn't just a raw expense, there's a bucketload of profit for WB in that fee. It will be clear as day that the 50%-55% rate going to Hollywood is accurate.Įdit: 'Hollywood Accounting' is where they charge expenses that they pay to themselves. I mean, seriously, you actually think that the entire 12 dollars that you pay at a movie theatre goes to Hollywood? That it doesn't get split between the movie theatre and Hollywood?īecause if you want proof of the rates I'm talking about, you don't have to look any further than the 10-K filing of AMC or any other publicly traded movie theatre chain. That's really all the evidence we need for it not being profitable. If it made money, there would have been a second one. If the movie made money, why was there not a second one in the series? We live in a sequel happy world where the more stories you can pump out in one world, the better. Hollywood accounting is a separate thing I'm talking about the actual profitability of the film, not what they can make it look like on paper. Nah, it's not 'Hollywood accounting' that I'm talking about. R/WarcraftLore for anything related to WoW lore including current and old.
