Warcraft: The Beginning—a film that Chris described as an "overloaded Cinematic Universe Starter Kit "—has become the most successful videogame movie adaptation ever. Its $377.6 million haul beats Prince of Persia: Sands of Time's $335m and Tomb Raider's $275m.
Only $37.7m of Warcraft's total comes from North America. Anyone hoping for a sequel owes their thanks to the Chinese box office—Warcraft received the widest Chinese cinema release of any film ever, showing on 67.5% of screens pulling in about $45m on its first day.
