Warcraft is predicted to fail in North America
The level of advance ticket sales does not allow Warcraft to have a strong North American start. Moreover, according to Variety, the adaptation of the popular game will not even manage to become the leader of the American box office. Warcraft is expected to earn only about $ 25 million on the premiere weekend, which is tantamount to failure for a project with a production budget of $ 160 million. If the dynamics of ticket sales remain the same, then at the end of the first weekend the movie will take third or even fourth place at home, skipping ahead such movies as "The Conjuring 2", which is promised about $ 40 million, and "Illusion of Deception 2". counting on $ 25-28 million. Recall that preparations for the adaptation of a series of popular Blizzard games began in 2006. In 2013, the project was directed by the Briton Duncan Jones. Filming took place in Vancouver. At the time of this writing, the rating of the picture on professional aggregator sites was extremely low. So, on RottenTomatoes, it did not exceed 25 percent, which was one of the worst results in 2016 among large-budget projects, as well as among adaptations of popular video games.
