it should, it was hilarious

And to be fair they didn't lose money, they didn't make any either
It cost 150 millions to produce so even if we had a bunch of millions for PR, it has grossed $202.48 million worldwide.
So no winning but no losing either

The rule of thumb in Hollywood accounting is that you'd have to make 2-3x the budget to break even because theatres keep a big chunk of that money - how much exactly depends on the country* and a few other details**. (*I've read somewhere that China takes a 75% cut, vs. 60% rest of the world, vs. 50% domestic) (**Like Disney blockbusters getting a 65% cut.)

So for Dungeons & Dragons on a 150 million budget they would've needed 375-450 million.

yeah but I feel like D&D is still very niche (like Warcraft the beginning which was also quite nice, I'll die on this hill - but more of a limited series vibe IMO)
The Dude bro didn't get enough action and too much humor

If Chris and Rege come back for any sequels I'll be there.

I loved the D&D movie. Even my mom loved it and said she wants an entire film series about it. My mom was all about the Satanic Panic around D&D in the 80s. Now she wants a ton of movies in that world lol.

So make more but with a proper budget and all that.

Yes. And there should be more of Rege.
