Wakanda should've charged $60/ticket. It's that simple

So?

HWL made that IN TWO WEEKS, versus the ENTIRE THEATRICAL RUN of Wakanda.

Who is suggesting that as many people bought Potter in 2 weeks, as saw Wakanda in 4 months?

You are reaching, man.

Are you suggesting the boycott worked, $850 million later?

Here is some math for you:

$60 is 4x $15

Wakanda has been out 15 weeks versus HWL's 2.

Wakanda 850/15= ~$57 million per week

HWL 850/2= $425 million per week

By your logic, using prices per unit, HWL should only be averaging $228 million per week.

I'll even throw you a bone.

I'll stop counting Wakanda's run on MLK day (9.5 weeks), which was the last day it made significant money. . .but I will use the entire amount of the run to date.

$850 million/9.5 weeks = $89.5 million per week

89.5 x 4 (ppu offset) = $358 million per week if Wakanda tickets were $60.

If HWL performed like WF, it would have only made $716 million so far.

Boycott fail

Well is the game any good?


The game is good. For fans of Rowling's wizarding world, it's a slam dunk as it's an incredibly faithful representation of the IP.

It's set back in the 1800's so there's no "baby Dumbledore" (although the Blacks and Weasleys have representatives).

You can not only explore every nook and cranny in Hogwarts, not just Hogsmeade, but it fleshes out the IP some by giving an incredibly large world map for the region surrounding Hogwarts.

The trans character never comes out and says "I'm a guy acting like a woman" but the hints are definitely there and the character is (very obviously) voiced by a male tranny (my guess is this was done without Rowlings' approval).

There’s nothing here.”

I think it's Pokemon. Saw some kind of comparison the other day.

No, but it says "other students thought I was a wizard when I was really a witch".

And the game is fantastic.

Because JK Rowling said

It was an attempt by the trans freaks to attack JK Rowling who, while a Liberal and a feminist, believes men aren't women.



What truly blows my mind is how she agrees with liberals on 99.9% of issues. However, that one belief that runs contrary to their own brought massive amounts of grief upon her. She'll be okay as she's a multi-billionaire, but the amount of flak she was getting from the entertainment industry was undeserved. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, two people we never would have heard of if not for her authoring the Harry Potter books, came out heavily against her. She wasn't even invited to appear on the 20th anniversary special of the release of the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because of her stance on transgenderism.

No. The game dissociates itself from JK Rowling so much there’s even a trans character in the game. (For people afraid of woke stuff, they barely acknowledge it.)

It's wild to me that GTA V has been around for 3 console cycles.

Not true

There’s like a cut scene where it focuses on his boobs and then it pans up to his 5 o’clock shadow and then he starts talking in his norm McDonald voice


Also the game is extremely diverse for being set in 1800s England
