Movie reviews: Its critical and commercial reaction for Warcraft both here and other places in the world has not been quite as positive as director Duncan Jones and his studio bosses might have hoped. But the film is getting a huge boost from China, where the film has earned more than $90 million across two days, according to estimates.
Warcraft snatched the record for the biggest Thursday of all time, and its launch on Wednesday made it the biggest opening day for a non-weekend release.
This is just the latest importance of the foreign box office (particularly China) to some big movies, and has been given a huge push there thanks to Legendary, which is owned by Chinese behemoth Wanda. It's actually playing in more than 67.5 per cent of all cinemas in mainland China.
And it's especially helpful, since the film is predicted to do that well in the States when it launches this weekend, with predictions ranging between $22-$24 million, a soft start for a project with a hefty $160 million plus price tag before marketing costs. So we may get to explore more of this world in future assuming the Chinese takings help to breathe life into a sequel in the same way that overseas box office helped Pacific Rim live on. Either way, that'll buy a lot of spare Doomhammers. see more animals for kids
