Warcraft launched badly at the American box office

The movie "Warcraft", based on the popular series of games, unsuccessfully started at the American box office. By the end of the premiere weekend, the movie had earned only $ 24.3 million, which is significantly less than the most pessimistic forecasts promised the project.

This is a very weak start for a movie with a production budget of $ 160 million, absolutely excluding its return on investment back home. Worldwide earnings "Warcraft" reached $ 300 million. He earned the most in China - about $ 150 million. It is the Chinese movie market that will become the project's only hope for recoupment.

Note that the Legendary Pictures studio belongs to the Chinese concern Wanda, so the best conditions were created for the rental of the picture. In particular, "Warcraft" received the widest release in national box office history.

And the leader in North America at the end of the past weekend was the low-budget horror movie "The Conjuring 2", which started with an impressive result - $ 40.3 million. And in third place was the adventure movie "The Illusion of Deception 2", which earned almost as much on the premiere weekend as "Warcraft" - 23 million dollars. It is noteworthy that Illusion of Deception 2 showed on fewer screens.
