Critics and box office wise, Warcraft film ended up being a huge dud in the US but because of China, its on track to become the highest ever grossing video game film.
Quote:
In the US, the Warcraft film can pretty much only been seen as a bomb -- at least when it comes to its opening weekend. It's expected to make $24.3 million at the box office this weekend (against a budget of $160 million, not including marketing), putting it soundly behind The Conjuring 2 at the #2 spot. But China is single-handedly saving the film.
As one of the most successful openings ever in that region it grossed $144.5 million, and broke multiple records in the process. Along with other countries worldwide, that places the Warcraft film at roughly $301 million during its opening week sprawl. That puts it well within reach of Prince of Persia, which is the highest grossing video game film ever at $336m worldwide.
