To add to that, the first film almost definitely ended on a note meaning that there was more than enough room for at least one sequel, dwindling as its chances may seem right now. This is something that has also been corroborated by Duncan Jones, the director of the first film.

While the money heads out there figure it all out, let us look at what the sequel could be like, if it happens, of course.įor something like ‘Warcraft’, it would especially seem like a no brainer where its next story to tell would come from, the most obvious guess being ‘Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness’, the second in ‘Warcraft’s world of 4 video games and one cards game, ‘Hearthstone’. The popularity of the video game around the world allowed the film to eclipse records of mammoth movies like ‘Furious 7’ and ‘ Avengers: Age of Ultron’ in several countries, making it the highest grossing video game adaptation of all time, and it is only achievements like this, if the studio is listening, that may make the development of a sequel possible for ‘Warcraft’, but sadly enough, very few people (and experts) currently seem to echo that sentiment. That by any means and definition would be termed a disappointment, especially coupled with a disappointing critical score of only 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, had it not been for its global sum: close to $390 Million, and a majority of that came from China. The film ended up grossing only $47 Million domestically against a budget of $160 Million. However, ‘Warcraft’ inevitably met with the same fate, despite the love it received globally.
