Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is projected to take in a strong opening weekend that could outgross the original 2000 film's entire run.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves may take just three days to outgross the original film. The movie, which takes place in the world of the iconic role-playing game, follows a group of adventurers played by an ensemble cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, and Sophia Lillis.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per Deadline, the opening weekend of the Dungeons & Dragons movie is projected to take in a gross of between $30 and $40 million. This could knock the massive hit John Wick: Chapter 4 from the No. 1 slot for the weekend. On top of that, if it reaches even halfway within that range, the new film will have already outgrossed the 2000 film's entire theatrical run of $33.9 million.
Is the Dungeons & Dragons Film Franchise Finally Getting Off the Ground? For quite some time, the Dungeons & Dragons franchise has been multimedia, existing in more formats than just the game. However, the attempts to bring the world to the screen have largely fizzled, including the original film's TV sequel Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God and its direct-to-video follow-up Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness.
However, the culture around the game has shifted thanks to the mainstream embracing of geek culture and the game being featured prominently in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things. With an audience more primed to accept the concept and the stacked Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves cast providing an extra draw, the film seems to be on its way to becoming a major hit. In addition to this strong opening weekend, it also has a Certified Fresh 89 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
It remains to be seen if Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves can spawn a new branch of the film series. The project comes with a $150 million price tag before factoring in publicity costs, so it still has a way to go before it turns a profit and potentially garners a sequel. However, this opening weekend success could lead to a bright future for the theatrical wing of the franchise at long last.
