Riding terrific reviews and a strong word-of-mouth, the role playing game adaptation Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves opened with US$38.5 million in US and Canadian movie theatres over the weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday , stealing the top box-office perch from John Wick: Chapter 4.
Dungeons & Dragons was also a big roll of the dice. The film, co-produced and co-financed by Paramount with eOne, which is owned by Hasbro, cost US$150 million to make. With a production cost like that, Dungeons & Dragons will be looking for sustained sales through April and similar success overseas to potentially kickstart a new franchise. It launched internationally with US$33 million.
Along with John Wick: Chapter 4, Creed III and Scream VI, Dungeons & Dragons adds to a string of well-received March releases that have surpassed box-office expectations and scored well with audiences. It's a streak that Universal Pictures' The Super Mario Bros Movie will look to continue next weekend.
