The star still believes in continuing the fantastic surprise.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was not a big hit at the box office. However, Chris Pine believes a sequel is possible.

One of the largest fantasy worlds, huge and diverse dragons, and many other mythical creatures that you don't even see in “Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter”, and cursed stars whose characters fit together perfectly, like no other movie of this type – and yet “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” was a million-dollar success at the box office worldwide. With a budget of only $150 million. $210 million It would have taken at least $300 million just to recoup the pure production costs of adapting the role-playing film. Marketing costs are not included here.

This defeat is particularly tragic given the excellent rating from critics (91%) and from the audience (93%) on the reviews page. rotten tomatoes. in the movie database His sorrows The fantasy film received a very good rating of 7.2/10. Andy also celebrated the film, calling it “better Marvel entertainment than the MCU” and recommending going to the cinema. However, all the praise in the lead-up to the film’s release didn’t help; only a handful of curious people found their way into theaters. Was it the marketing that made “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” seem like a parody of “Lord of the Rings” and “Game of Thrones”? Or is the horror of the first film adaptation from 2000 still too deep?

It's hard to believe: People complain time and time again that Hollywood only produces soulless action movies that are fun to watch, but don't have an original plot, a lively world, or well-written characters. Then every few years, a movie like this hits theaters — and no one gets in. But for all those who, despite everything, still want another adventure with the poet Edgin Darvis, the barbarian Hulga Kilgore, and company, it's clear that there's still a good chance to play another game. That's exactly what lead actor Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) said at ACE Superhero Comic Con (via PopVerses) knowledge:

“The movie was good, but not good enough. These are the obstacles in our business. For these movies to do well, you have to have a billion dollars.” [US-Dollar] Take it, it's a lot. I think there's a good chance we'll have another one. [Film] It will be produced because I believe Hasbro owns the rights to it. I think if they can find a financial way to make it happen, there's a good chance they can do it.

'Dungeons & Dragons 2' Has to Cut Budget in Half

The best thing that could have happened to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was the decision to direct the duo of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. What initially seemed like a bad choice on paper was simply a calculation. The film shouldn’t take itself too seriously, but it shouldn’t be a parody of the genre either. Anyone who’s been to a Dungeons & Dragons game knows that situations arise all the time that can be not only chaotic, but also incredibly funny. That’s exactly what the new film should be. With “Vacation – We are the Griswolds” and especially “Game Night,” Daley and Goldstein have already proven that they can do situational comedy.

However, their fantasy film seemed like a comprehensive movie with countless expensive creatures like dragons, owl bears, mimics, and imaginary monsters. In addition to the many settings and places visited. If the second part gets the green light for production, it will have the advantage of not having to show as many locations and creatures. Instead, you can focus more on the characters. In conversation with diverse Paramount CEO Brian Robbins was open to the idea of ​​a sequel, but stressed that it needed to be made “on a lower budget.” He and Chris Pine are already in agreement on that.
