    The Warcraft movie was actually really good, not sure why it did poorly in the States. Everywhere else in the world loved it.

      I actually am in the rest of the world, but I found it only okay. There were good scenes and epic set-pieces but I felt the story was a bit lacking.

      Just looked it up, and wow you’re right. Only made $47 million in the US? Seemed to be unusually overseas-heavy.

      From Wikipedia:

      Variety reported that the film was generating only moderate interest among U.S. moviegoers, which could possibly hurt its box office performance stateside, with poor reviews and competition from the aforementioned films and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (released the week prior) also affecting its performance.
