Warcraft Is Not Projected to Perform Well at Box Office

Universal-Legendary will be hoping for more internationally.

By Matt Porter

The upcoming Warcraft movie is predicted to only perform moderately during its opening weekend.

According to Variety, early tracking says it will only make a projected $25 million, which is a small total compared to its $160 million budget.

This fairly low estimate is due to mediocre reviews (currently just 25 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), and Variety says the movie could be behind the likes of The Conjuring 2 and Now You See Me 2 on its opening weekend.

Warcraft is getting a staggered release around the world. It's in theaters now in France, Indonesia and the Philippines, and by June 8 it will have debuted in most of Europe. It's coming to the U.S. on June 10.

It is predicted Warcraft will perform better internationally - it will have to do so to catch up on its budget.
