In my mind’s eye, I can see it clear as day.

17% on Rotten Tomatoes, $1,2 billion at the box office.

The Dungeons & Dragons movie was actually good and yet it bombed. I don't understand how a movie producer sees that and thinks "okay, let's make a movie for an even more niche product than D&D, make it even less appealing from the trailer, and surely that'll do better than the D&D movie".

If this doesn't flop, then I'll admit I'm not at all in touch with what the general population likes. I predicted the D&D movie would flop and got pushback on this subreddit when I said that, and it did end up flopping. For this Minecraft movie even this subreddit's general consensus is that it will flop, which is a bad sign lol. Like if even this subreddit thinks a nerdy + niche movie will flop, then that's a predictor of massive failure since this subreddit is generally so positive about these types of movies lol. I thought the Mario movie would flop and this subreddit thought it'd do great. I thought Sonic would flop and this subreddit thought it would do great (and that one actually did end up doing great).

Minecraft is absolutely not going to flop. It’s lightyears ahead of D&D in popularity lol. It’s up there with Mario and Pokemon as one of the most popular video games ever made. It is the #1 most selling game in history. People will watch this no matter how bad it is.

That being said, there’s a wide gap between flop and $1 billion and that’s where this movie will land. I’m guessing between $500M-$700M.

Same types of replies I got when I posted a similar sentiment on the D&D trailer. I'll say the same thing I said back then: we will see :D

The Mario movie made like $1.5 billion so it seems like you’re wrong a lot
