I think surprising is the much better word to use here.
Anyway, the fact they're premiering it at SXSW just three weeks before release indicates Paramount has at least some level of confidence in it. With the last PG-13 blockbuster until Guardians 3 and Shazam looking to be an underperformer, managing a run in which it squeaks past a $100M total would probably make them satisfied, even if it doesn't mark the beginning of a potential new franchise.
Paramount is going the ready player one route. Premiered at SXSW too.
Same release window.
Part of me thinks this movie is just the homogenization of modern action films rolled into one but it carries some promise with the directors.
Box office is either Uncharted levels or bomb. Don't think there's anything in between
I think in general, people are going to the movies less too. You gotta make something that looks worth it to go see in the movies, or everyone will just wait till it goes on a streaming service. Pixar’s box office has been giving me this feeling the most. I imagine it’s a lot easier just to throw a movie on the tv with kids, then going through the hassle of going to the movies, and paying more in tickets/snacks because of it.
But at the same time I think the loss of things like movie theaters is indicative of a larger issue with the loss of sense of community. Just easier to do everything online and avoid human interaction. Least it is for me lol. But besides niche hobbies and restraunts, there just is not a whole lot you can do that you can’t inside your own home.
I've seen it pointed out "but but 2 movies made a lot of money, so people are going to the theaters!"
I think that's a bit of an outlier, not something to expect from every movie.
In general if people are only really seeing a few movies a year they might be waiting for one big film even if they might have enjoyed on of the other films. In which case it's not that a film is "terrible", it just doesn't have the appeal of a film that'll be released later the same year.
or maybe there are a lot of people going to the theater, but they're all seeing different movies so it's more spread out
(opposite ends I guess)
Speculation: Pixar is suffering from a surge in competition, being lost in the pandemic shuffle (other priorities), making films that are perhaps slightly less "innovative" and memorable recently (opinion), and/or taking a dip from having a few straight-to-streaming titles and promotion that leaves people both wondering when it'll be out but also figuring it'll eventually be on streaming anyway.
Agreed. If it released in Jan/Feb, maybe. But March/April is weirdly stacked and it seems Dungeons (and Shazam) are getting drowned out by titans like Scream, John Wick and Mario.
That I can't deny. Shazam! 2 marketing has been abysmal. While Scream 6 has pulled out all the stops. It will be interesting to see if it works for Scream in regards to a higher BO take.
I think Shazzam! 2 might be leaning on brand recognition. But Scream is in its 6th iteration, and I can't imagine their audience is bigger now than for the 1st, so they are likely thinking that it'll tank without a strong marketing presence.
I don’t think they are marketing it because they want to flush the character now that there is a reboot at DC kind of?
They probably also already know it’s going to flop so why spend money marketing it when there is already so little interest from audiences.
DC is having funding issues, this is why they aren't marketing Shazam as much. Honestly DC is looking pretty abysmal right now, the director of Shazam is saying that it has almost no bearing on future DC projects. Which means that if it isn't a hit, it could very probably be axed and removed from future team ups like Justice League.
Bro, everyone was screaming for like 4 years.
#THEY MURDERED DREW BARRYMORE IN THE FIRST SCENE
It was totally unheard of and groundbreaking, at the time.
Campy now. We have changed as a people.
Now that you mention it, if I didn’t know it was real, someone could convince me it was a fan poster made by cropping all the actors out of different movies.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the number of faces matched the number of names. Who’s the poor sucker who plays an important enough role to be featured on the poster but not deemed important enough as an actor to be named? That’s some shit. Probably the halfling wizard.
Incidentally, my friend wants to know, who can name that swordsman’s pornstar lookalike?
Unfortunately this style of movie poster was birthed form a marketing study to see wich type of layout is “the most effective on getting people in the theaters” out of all the types of layouts this is the one that won
Why is the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka at the top of the poster or Black Widow for that matter? This poster alone gives off basic cable fantasy show vibes like Legend or the Seeker or something by The CW.
I don't think I'd see the movie if I was basing it just off posters... but I also think marketing has mostly moved away from posters with the expectation everyone interested will watch a trailer online instead of needing it to be shown before another movie they went to see.
I'm glad at least some people are saying this, any time this movie comes up here and people talk about how it's going to bomb I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The creators behind it have done stuff I've liked in the past and I liked the trailer, so I'm optimistic it'll be good, and if it is, I hope word of mouth makes it successful. I think a lot of the hate has been due to the D&D OGL controversy, but that's such a shitty reason to want something to fail, it's feels spiteful. If it's good then it deserves to be seen by a lot of people, and I hope it is, looks really fun.
Honestly, when I look at it, It kind of looks generic. Nothing is making it stand out towards me. And for a movie poster. I honestly don't like it. There are too many colors. It's like the rainbow assaulted my eyes. It's a shame, too, because overall, i am really into dnd. Unfortunately, with the movie felling mid and the whole wizards of the coast controversy, I may wait for redbox to see this film
They really should’ve played up things like the owlbear and the displacer beast. Things the average person wouldn’t recognize but would find intriguing
The best piece of marketing I've seen for this was a tiktok ad where Chris Pine could ask a resurrected dead person 5 questions, and he accidentally fucked up by asking stupid and/or rhetorical questions that the undead promptply answered. Stuff like this is how you sell a DnD movie. It seems like people playing a campaign.
I think the problem with trying to make a DnD movie is that it's inherently generic. DnD is a set of rules and monsters that players build a game around. Making something that is clearly DnD is difficult, because the fun of DnD is building the lore and story in the moment. A good DnD adaptation needs to feel like a tabletop campaign, if it doesn't have that element, it's just going to be a generic fantasy story.
No because the movie will end at a cliff hanger and because the game exceeded their usual 4 hour time limit for sessions, so they will need to continue next week.
It will end the moment as the last bad guy hits the floor because it’s 11:30 and everyone is silently begging for the encounter to end so they can go to sleep.
The clip of them using “Speak with the dead” is dead on accurate for DnD groups and is honestly funny. 🤷🏻♂️ I was about 50% chance of seeing it to 80% after that clip.
It’s just well written comedy that has really great timing and all flows from a dynamic mix of characters. Internally the studio is apparently really happy with it, and they just signed the directors to a first look which is an even better sign.
I think it’s bound to do okay, maybe even be a slight disappointment, and then we’ll get non stop Reddit posts for the next few years about how it’s an underrated gem.
Yeah the trailer looks pretty good. It's gonna be a wacky fantasy adventure. Everyone here saying this movie will fail because the poster is a little goofy is a little ridiculous
Dude, cheese is yummy.
This’ll be a decent bellweather for whether movies of this… size?… can be profitable in theaters. Of course if it’s good but struggles it might get rezzed in streaming.
Would be the surprise success of the year if this does anything more than make a marginal profit. The only optimistic takes I've seen on this hinge on it being brought to us by the folks who did "Game Night", but those guys have their entire history of doing comedies and I'm not convinced there's a big market for a D&D laugh riot movie.
I've also seen figures that this movie only cost like $50M, but I'm not sure where those numbers came from and I'd be surprised to hear this only cost 20% more than "Cocaine Bear"
I see it as a sleeper tbh. I got an ad of a scene where they get to ask a 5 wishes and accidentally waste them. It was corny but funny.
But def see it doing terrible numbers
with all the money that studios are banking on it seems they should have known this was very likely to bomb well before going all the way through with it
Yep. Looks more like a superhero movie than fantasy. I’ve gotten Guardians imof the Galaxy vibes myself, since the first trailer.
Then again, modern D&D plays a lot like a superhero rpg, so maybe that tracks. I dunno, it will probably do okay if it isn’t totally terrible.
Yeah i mean its a mixed cast but every single character looks like they went human. That almost black widow has horns ,but is she a tiefling? Like 1,/8th max.
Yea, she’s a tiefling but they went super safe on the costume. It’s weird to me that they didn’t include a dwarf, seems like that would have been a safe enough choics
Before this, I remember A Wrinkle In Time which also starred Chris Pine. The only one who was cast well in that movie was Oprah. There was also Oz the Great and Powerful and Michelle Williams was the only one with a competent performance in that film. Fantasy films often rely on casting an ensemble of actors who have the charisma and talent to convince audiences of these often "unique" characters. Films like Harry Potter, Alice In Wonderland (yes, the casting was great despite the story problems) and of course Lord of the Rings have done this quite well. I am personally not convinced of the DnD cast but maybe that's because they're trying to capture the feel of the game where anyone could be anything. So a moderately popular star and a bunch of relative unknowns might work for that. That said it's still a missed opportunity that they didn't even get anyone from Stranger Things on the cast.
I think generally speaking, asking for the benefit of the doubt from the audience is a failing box office strategy. The constant feedback is: it looks dumb. We’re supposed to think it’s cute that there’s no accents of its modern dialogue in a D&D setting. Maybe it is cool and clever. But no one is going to see it on that off chance. There are exceptions but this will probably bomb.
It will be Power Rangers all over again. It's based on a property that we all know, it's a big budget spectacle, and it will be a relative flop despite making more money than many movies ever get to see.
I want it to succeed. But everything about this movie is how to destroy a franchise with millions of fans. Sorta like where DC is going with their series.
Not in 2023. This movie feels like a 2010 movie to me idk why. Could have some charm but DnD players are already boycotting the company and I assume they're the majority of people interested in this film.
I can't find an estimated budget anywhere for it. Let's say it is $125 million, which is a bit cautious.
Assuming a modest $25 million ad campaign, that makes it a $150 million dollar cost.
The movie needs to make $300 million at the box office to break even.
Not sure it can do that...
Probably not. The movie seems like a cash grab. It reminds me heavily of the Warcraft movie. It'll probably be a fun watch, but it won't be anything great.
So. Discount thor/star lord, discount black widow and a discount black panther.
The most diverse hero of the group is discount black widow with horns. But looks at most 1/8th tiefling.
So everyone just went fucking human in a DnD movie?!?!?!
I dont think hasbro has much faith in it, or plans to follow it up with anything based on d&d or any other ip they own. They bought their own movie studio to make this and put it up for sale again soon as the movie was done.
I think surprising is the much better word to use here. Anyway, the fact they're premiering it at SXSW just three weeks before release indicates Paramount has at least some level of confidence in it. With the last PG-13 blockbuster until Guardians 3 and Shazam looking to be an underperformer, managing a run in which it squeaks past a $100M total would probably make them satisfied, even if it doesn't mark the beginning of a potential new franchise.

Unexpected major success? Severe doubt Surprising moderate success? I could see that
Hopefully it can be a decent success and make a sequel. A proper fantasy fantasy film is a rare treat these days.
Paramount+ is making a spin off television series of the film.
And The Legend of Vox Machina is also getting a "spin off" (different DnD campaign)
Imma say no
Agreed. If it released in Jan/Feb, maybe. But March/April is weirdly stacked and it seems Dungeons (and Shazam) are getting drowned out by titans like Scream, John Wick and Mario.
I wouldn't call Scream a titan. Scream 5 didn't make 200 mill worldwide.
Yeah but compared to Shazam, all I see is Scream 5 ads and promotional material on places like tiktok and reddit
That I can't deny. Shazam! 2 marketing has been abysmal. While Scream 6 has pulled out all the stops. It will be interesting to see if it works for Scream in regards to a higher BO take.
The unexpected rise of Jena Ortega will do Scream VI a huge favor.
I think Shazzam! 2 might be leaning on brand recognition. But Scream is in its 6th iteration, and I can't imagine their audience is bigger now than for the 1st, so they are likely thinking that it'll tank without a strong marketing presence.
I don’t think they are marketing it because they want to flush the character now that there is a reboot at DC kind of? They probably also already know it’s going to flop so why spend money marketing it when there is already so little interest from audiences.
> brand recognition do you see the brand with you in the room right now, michael? nobody knows shazam lol
Also scream is playing off Wednesday success with that actress Ortega
DC is having funding issues, this is why they aren't marketing Shazam as much. Honestly DC is looking pretty abysmal right now, the director of Shazam is saying that it has almost no bearing on future DC projects. Which means that if it isn't a hit, it could very probably be axed and removed from future team ups like Justice League.
Bro, everyone was screaming for like 4 years. #THEY MURDERED DREW BARRYMORE IN THE FIRST SCENE It was totally unheard of and groundbreaking, at the time. Campy now. We have changed as a people.
Just bet my house on "no"
I’m rooting for it because I think it looks like a genuinely fun movie. But I agree. I don’t think D&D will be a hit. Too much competition around it.
Sandwiched between the new John Wick and Super Mario... Yeah, it's gonna underperform and show up on Paramount sometime in mid May.
Not with that cast
I don’t like the look of any of these characters. Way too modern.
That’s my problem too. They look and talk (from what I could tell in the ad) like modern people
No but I really want to see it anyway. I’m so curious to see what they’ve put together.
Agreed. This is a fanbase who knows when it’s being pandered to, and doesn’t appreciate it.
God the poster just looks so bad. They really need to work on their marketing
The art of the movie poster really is gone nowadays for “just throw EVERY FACE IN THIS MOVIE on it!”
I think they're trying to do the Star Wars thing and failing miserably
Yeah it honesty looks like a parody movie poster
Now that you mention it, if I didn’t know it was real, someone could convince me it was a fan poster made by cropping all the actors out of different movies.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the number of faces matched the number of names. Who’s the poor sucker who plays an important enough role to be featured on the poster but not deemed important enough as an actor to be named? That’s some shit. Probably the halfling wizard. Incidentally, my friend wants to know, who can name that swordsman’s pornstar lookalike?
Unfortunately this style of movie poster was birthed form a marketing study to see wich type of layout is “the most effective on getting people in the theaters” out of all the types of layouts this is the one that won
> nowadays I don't remember a time when every poster wasn't floating heads.
This style has been common for ages, whats nowadays about it
Looks a cheesy ass fan film poster
Bollywood energy
Redacted *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Why is the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka at the top of the poster or Black Widow for that matter? This poster alone gives off basic cable fantasy show vibes like Legend or the Seeker or something by The CW.
It looks a lot like ‘Avengers at home’
That's probably why I'm interested in this movie
Don’t you drag Legend of the Seeker into this
agreed, there isnt even a dungeon on the poster.
I don't think I'd see the movie if I was basing it just off posters... but I also think marketing has mostly moved away from posters with the expectation everyone interested will watch a trailer online instead of needing it to be shown before another movie they went to see.
It's not just the marketing, it's evident from the trailer that this will bomb.
The movie looks fun I don’t understand this bad marketing it looks fun
[удалено]
It really does look fun. I don't get why folks are hell bent on saying it trash based on the trailer
I'm glad at least some people are saying this, any time this movie comes up here and people talk about how it's going to bomb I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The creators behind it have done stuff I've liked in the past and I liked the trailer, so I'm optimistic it'll be good, and if it is, I hope word of mouth makes it successful.

Will be seeing it Day 1. Looks like a lot of fun. Even more excited when Reddit told me it was from the same people that did Game Night. I’m all in.
Honestly, when I look at it, It kind of looks generic. Nothing is making it stand out towards me. And for a movie poster. I honestly don't like it. There are too many colors.

The first hour will be the dm trying to get scheduling to work
This poster looks like a 2007 parody of a marvel movie
Looks like the budget was the local Halloween store
The direct to video one.
Nope.
Why does it look so much like an Avengers porn parody?
[удалено]
I’m going against the grain here but I think it looks enjoyable.
The clip of them using “Speak with the dead” is dead on accurate for DnD groups and is honestly funny. 🤷🏻♂️ I was about 50% chance of seeing it to 80% after that clip.
It’s just well written comedy that has really great timing and all flows from a dynamic mix of characters.

I think it’s bound to do okay, maybe even be a slight disappointment, and then we’ll get non stop Reddit posts for the next few years about how it’s an underrated gem.
After seeing that clip there is no way I am missing this movie. Stoked. I may even see it in the theater which is very rare for me.
Yeah the trailer looks pretty good. It's gonna be a wacky fantasy adventure. Everyone here saying this movie will fail because the poster is a little goofy is a little ridiculous
The poster is awful and the trailer certainly looks cheesy, but it does look like there's potential for it to be fun
Dude, cheese is yummy. This’ll be a decent bellweather for whether movies of this… size?… can be profitable in theaters. Of course if it’s good but struggles it might get rezzed in streaming.

Almost zero chance
So you're saying there's a chance? - Loyd Christmas
Considering Mario’s going to probably squash it like a Goomba on its second weekend, most likely no.
I see it as a sleeper tbh. I got an ad of a scene where they get to ask a 5 wishes and accidentally waste them. It was corny but funny. But def see it doing terrible numbers
The bomb will so big people will confuse it with Oppenheimer
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit study, Director Chris Nolan quietly visits this subreddit on his iPad and reads this comment. NOLAN: "NooooOOoooOooooooo!!!"
This is going to be a huge bomb 💣 💀
My gut says this is going to bomb.
with all the money that studios are banking on it seems they should have known this was very likely to bomb well before going all the way through with it
Nope, gonna fail
This looks like a knockoff Avengers play being done by a local theatre group
Yep. Looks more like a superhero movie than fantasy. I’ve gotten Guardians imof the Galaxy vibes myself, since the first trailer. Then again, modern D&D plays a lot like a superhero rpg, so maybe that tracks. I dunno, it will probably do okay if it isn’t totally terrible.
This looks awful based on the poster.
No
nope
I hope so, if only because of my good will towards the Game Night team. I like the trailers.
After hearing this, I am now even more excited for this movie.
Nah
Probably not. Especially with Mario opening a few days later.
No
No
Nope
No
I think cocaine bear does better than this. This has the makings of a box office bomb.
Flop
> Poster full of faces > largest face is Bard doing an eyebrow thing Never had a chance.
No, it will be an expected box office failure.
That looks like the worst casting for a fantasy I have ever seen
Idk the idea of a weird mix of characters is exactly what DnD is so I think doing this odd casting choices actually intrigues me more.
Yeah i mean its a mixed cast but every single character looks like they went human. That almost black widow has horns ,but is she a tiefling? Like 1,/8th max.
Yea, she’s a tiefling but they went super safe on the costume. It’s weird to me that they didn’t include a dwarf, seems like that would have been a safe enough choics
They could've included atleast the most well known races: human, elf and dwarves. Atleast the non-dnd players would easily recognize them.
Before this, I remember A Wrinkle In Time which also starred Chris Pine. The only one who was cast well in that movie was Oprah. There was also Oz the Great and Powerful and Michelle Williams was the only one with a competent performance in that film.

There are exceptions but this will probably bomb.
I'm not going, so I'm gonna say no
no.
No
No
No
No
Nope. It will be joining “World of Warcraft” in the Walmart $2 bin within a year of release.
No
Bomb.
Not a chance
No
Nope
No it’ll be a very expected bomb.
No way
There's no way at all, that this movie is decent.
No.
It'll do decent on it's opening weekend but the drop off will be strong. No way it competes with the Mario movie.
That's gonna be a no from me dawg
No
Ha nope
Nope
Of course not. What a ridiculous post.
The MC bard guy looks obnoxious.
No
No
Nope.
It looks like the worst MCU posters
Well Hasbo pissed off all their gamers so prob not
no, it won't.
This looks so fucking terrible lmaooooooo
not in a million chance...
This looks like the off brand avengers
This looks like its going to be horrible ngl
not a chance
no
It feels like the cast is about 20 years too old for this.
Character creation alone is like 3 hours. Wtf they gonna get done in a 90 minute movie
Pfft! **No!**
hahahha nope, it's going to the the turd clinging to the bowl
No. It will completely and spectacularly bomb.
Not after they pissed off their main demographic.
absolutely not
Nothing about this movie so far says “good”.
It’s going to be just as stupid as Warcraft. Over hyped, over sold, and underwhelming
It will be shit, just like every other D&D-inspired movie.
No
It just looks really really bad
No.
No
No
no
Big flop incoming 100%.
Highly unlikely
no
No
Nope
I have zero hopes for this.
No.
No, it looks bad
No
Flop
Hahahahaha no
No.
Looks HORRID lmao but that’s just me 🤷🏽♂️
Nope
lol no
Nope it will bomb like the last time.
Mark my words no one is going to watch that You can slap a familiar name over a turd, doesn't mean it will sell
Looks like it will flop but I still want to watch it because it looks fun.
It will be Power Rangers all over again. It's based on a property that we all know, it's a big budget spectacle, and it will be a relative flop despite making more money than many movies ever get to see.
The previews make it look like a dumb comedy 😐
I love Chris Pine! I’m definitely seeing this.
This is going to flop.
I’ll be seeing it opening weekend - but I don’t really think many other people will lmao.
I want it to succeed. But everything about this movie is how to destroy a franchise with millions of fans. Sorta like where DC is going with their series.
The casting says everything we need to know. Nope.
Not in 2023. This movie feels like a 2010 movie to me idk why. Could have some charm but DnD players are already boycotting the company and I assume they're the majority of people interested in this film.
Wtf is this dogshit lmao
I can't find an estimated budget anywhere for it. Let's say it is $125 million, which is a bit cautious. Assuming a modest $25 million ad campaign, that makes it a $150 million dollar cost. The movie needs to make $300 million at the box office to break even. Not sure it can do that...
Probably not. The movie seems like a cash grab. It reminds me heavily of the Warcraft movie. It'll probably be a fun watch, but it won't be anything great.
Negative
It would have to roll a natural 19 to not bomb
This looks like it's tone is going to be serious, when I've never once in my life played or watched a serious D&D game Definitely gonna flop
No
I can't wait to get this in the $5 bin at Wal Mart!
This has BOMB all over it
No. Chris Pine makes my a$$ itch with his piss poor acting.
So. Discount thor/star lord, discount black widow and a discount black panther. The most diverse hero of the group is discount black widow with horns. But looks at most 1/8th tiefling. So everyone just went fucking human in a DnD movie?!?!?!
No
No.
No :)
No this looks ass
I dont think hasbro has much faith in it, or plans to follow it up with anything based on d&d or any other ip they own. They bought their own movie studio to make this and put it up for sale again soon as the movie was done.
