That movie was the shit. It had no right to be as good as it was until you realize that it was a movie made with love by true D&D nerds, designed to feel like the cinematic retelling of an actual campaign, crit rolls, weird player personalities, DM nudging, and all.
I'm annoyed that I expect Hollywood executive, as always, will take the wrong lesson from it. They'll see it underperformed and think people don't want a D&D movie, rather than that they shouldn't have released it between John Wick and Mario.
I don’t know enough to say whether that’s what did it in or not, but it was still a phenomenal movie that was liked by critics and audiences. It’s definitely a marketing problem.
