Ok



Where did I under rate the gaming industry? I don't know why you guys don't like hearing the factual truth.

If the gaming industry was that huge to shake the movie industry/big screen, why did movies like Warcraft and Pokemon have extremely poor performances at the box office despite their huge world wide gaming popularity?

Warcraft and Pokemon are among the highest grossing video game franchises of all time, yet the gamers couldn't do enough for it to be a massive hit at the BO. Why is this so?

Doesn't it buttress my point that they need popular movie celebrities to attract other audiences (especially non gamers) and make it sell? Henry's presence has attracted a lot of interest in the Witchers series, that's a fact.

Warcraft and Detective Pikachu (I assume that's the Pokemon movie you're talking about) made triple their budgets. So I don't understand the extremely poor box office performance you're talking about. Warcraft featured Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) and Dominic Cooper (Preacher). Detective Pikachu featured Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu. Are these celebrities not popular enough for you?

On the point of Cavill attracting a lot of interest to the series, I'm yet to see any reactions from any new audience. Basically every platform I've been on, it's still gamers and readers talking about the show. Abi, are the Cavill fans in ghost mode?

Your younger brother or you?

Warcraft made loss for the studio if you don't know....same for Pikachu.

As for the names you mentioned, none of them can draw crowd at the BO. Even Ryan Reynold is not much of a BO crowd puller with the exception of Deadpool.

Someone just stated here that he didn't know of Witcher until Cavill was involved.

We can do a survey on the Series/movies thread if you want to know how many people was interested in the Witcher when they found out that Henry Cavill was involved.

Kaycee7:
Pikachu performed below expectations. The studio didn't report a loss.

Ryan Reynolds is not a BO crowd puller? But Cavill is the person that is giving The Witcher series relevance? And yet you accuse people of making senseless arguments. Do you know how much of joke this your statement sounds now?

Like Minemrys said, yes, Cavill will probably draw the attention of a few DC/Superman fans. Ask Pu7pl3 if he actually plans to watch the series?

On Nairaland? I laugh. Go to the Marvel thread and check how many people actually know or have any interest in the Shang Chi movie? The series thread with people who can't stop whining about how they don't understand the Watchmen show? Abeg, lemme concede defeat here and dead this issue.

phr0nesis:
Hulk will just die if this happens. But it's just a romour

phr0nesis:
What kind of wickedness is this?

pu7pl3:
DC is not losing fans

i expected it. MOS was a failure so DC/WB want to monetize and weaponize racism to make money for the next superman movie. They did it in the comics but black superman was not that popular

I never knew black Superman existed. Tell me Disney doesn't weaponize and monetize racism

The latest watchmen episode is so good and intriguing.

So many dark secrets that the US government did and hid.

It also exposes how the media misinterpretes a lot of things by giving accolades to those that don't because of media bias.

If you ain't watching this series, better do so now.

I really enjoyed the noir setting,the acting,pacing,shots and choreography were all on point...this show is really dope I don't want it to finish

Did you see that action comic superman reference? Oh and that shot of Reeves flying out of the window and pausing was one of the dopest shots ever

pu7pl3:
Stop reading fake news from malicious website/blogs

phr0nesis:
collider.com isn't a malicious website

pu7pl3:
Shame on them for posting that fake news

It's not fake. Just Google 'Micheal B. Jordan' and check the news results, it's everywhere

NeededGist:
What the exactly is your point set?? Warcraft and pokemon were both successful. Just for your information Pokemon is currently the highest grossing video game of all time surpassing Warcraft. So what's your point again?

TheKingIsHere:
That slow mo scene was the best.

I never thought her grand dad was the hooded justice.. I love how they made us realize that there is a lot of misinformation from the media, a lot of hidden secrets swept under the rug. Especially, the white dude that burnt a store and got away with it just because a bad cop arrested him.

All these happened in real life back then.

The most intriguing part is that brainwashing of black folks using hypnosis from the projector to attack and kill each other at the cinemas.

TheKingIsHere:
You saw the part in my post stating "Doesn't it buttress my point that they need popular movie celebrities to attract other audiences (especially non gamers) and make it sell? Henry's presence has attracted a lot of interest in the Witchers series, that's a fact."

And you are still asking what's my point Please read the comment again.

Also, Warcraft (film) and Pokemon (film) aka Detective pikachu were flops.

pu7pl3:
Yea...those white folks really go to extreme lengths and to think that he used the same method to kill that police chief felt like poetic justice to me...

Another part that stood out for me was when he lost it and shot everyone in that warehouse and burnt them all...it's just sad that superheroes can't just have a happy family(his wife was selfish and weak for leaving him if you ask me)

NeededGist:
They made up to times 3 of their budgets how did they flop? Especially Warcraft

Regards Henry Cavill, I'm not saying he will not bring in more fans but it will not be as crazy as you think. Even the movie MoS was a flop and it was about Superman(Your Henry Cavil ). Where were superman fans?

TheKingIsHere:
That scene where he lost his shiit at the warehouse was the best. The rage was let loose.

Imaging entering a room and seeing someone using hypnosis on your race and telling them to hate and kill themselves.

Infact, after watching that scene, i had a feeling that the whites are still involved in the massive sufferings blacks and Africans are going through.

The series is a shocking revelation

Lmao my nigga is paranoid kudos to the TV show that made you think that deep tho but Africans are the cause of Africa's problems

TheKingIsHere:
Please see article from forbes. Also, Warcraft brought loss to the studio


I hope you know that MoS still brought over a $42m profit to the studio right, despite the disappointment? Also, the media was against Synder hence it could have made far more if not for the media bias and backlash

NeededGist:
So $42m profit is what the great Henry Cavil could bring to DC
I'm sorry but you've lost this argument.

pu7pl3:

TheKingIsHere:
A movie that faced the biggest backlash of 2013 still made profit, but Warcraft that is among the highest grossing video game of all time couldnt do jack at the BO. Where were the gamers to help this movie then? I don't recall any huge media backlash against the film back then.

You have no point of argument oga, just let it rest.

Henry Cavill's presence in The Witcher is a Huge bonus, take it or leave it
