What does that mean for the wow gold film?
Warcraft now holds the Guinness World Record as the most popular multiplayer online game with more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers.Raimi will be directing his fourth Spider-man film first, so don't expect WoW on the big screen until 2012 or 2013. But this announcement is a big deal. Why? All one has to do is looking at the history and numbers behind the online role-playing juggernaut.World of Warcraft attracts 11.5 million subscribers per month, each paying a $15 subscription fee (on top of the $50 game).On January 16, 2007 the first expansion--a kind of sequel--for WoW was released for $40. The Burning Crusade sold 2.4 million copies by the time it was released, a record for a PC game.On November, 13, 2008 the second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, was released for $40. It sold 2.8 million copies day one, breaking the record of the previous expansion.So what does that mean for the wow gold film? Let's assume a budget of over $100 million to make the movie. If 10 million people buy tickets see their favorite game brought to life, the film would gross over $400 million worldwide. Add merchandise, a well-timed expansion, and home video sales, the total global revenue could reach $1 billion.Of course, no other game-to-movie adaptation has done nearly that well. The closest would be 2001's Tomb Raider--which is the most successful video game adaptation to date--with $274 million in total box office receipts worldwide.The most important member of a team is a tank in many ways.
