Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves is off to a surprisingly good start with both audiences and critics, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's also doing well at the box office. The opening weekend for the D&D movie brought in $38.5 million in the US and around $33 million from other countries.
Those numbers put it right in the middle of this year's blockbusters. It did better than obvious flops like Shazam! : Fury of the Gods ($30 million), but not as well as movies like John Wick 4, which opened at $73.8 million, or Creed 3, which opened at $58 million.
The opening of Dungeons & Dragons is about the same as the opening of Scream VI, which made $44 million. However, the horror movie probably cost a lot less to make than this fantasy adventure, which is said to have cost around $150 million to make.
Even though, at the beginning of March, it was predicted that Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves would make between $23 and $30 million in its first weekend and between $52 and $90 million during its entire run in the United States.
The movie did better than expected, making $38.5 million in the U.S. and another $33 million abroad in its first weekend, for a total of $71.5 million worldwide.
The success of "D&D" will depend on how well it does in other countries. The movie, which was directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley and starred Chris Pine and Regé-Jean Page, did the best at the box office in China, where it made $5 million. The U.K., Mexico, Australia, and Germany all made $2.4 million, and Germany made $2 million.
The studio that made the D&D movie, Paramount, will hope that Honor Among Thieves' good reviews and reception will keep it in theaters for a long time, like how Puss in Boots: The Last Wish did earlier this year. There's a good chance that could happen, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which comes out on April 5, is the only thing that can stop Dungeons & Dragons.
In the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sophia Lillis play a group of adventurerswho are looking for an old artifact. John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who also worked together on Spider-Man: Homecoming and Game Night, wrote and directed the movie.
This weekend, Paramount and eOne's Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves box office was the most popular movie in both the U.S. and the rest of the world, even though it is expected to fail. The fantasy adventure with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez made $38.5 million in the United States and $33 million in other countries, for a total of $71.5 million worldwide.
The numbers were better than what was expected, but the trade says that ticket sales may not be enough to keep the team going. But great reviews at the end give hope for a long run at the box office. Still, with The Super Mario Bros. Movie coming out this weekend and John Wick: Chapter 4 continuing to do well, it may be hard for D&D to stay afloat.
