If I'm not mistaken most of the budget for The Two Towers and Return of the king were for the CGI. since the budget for the first one covered production and pay for the actors/staff.
For legendary yes, they are getting 50% of the ticket sales, for Universal I don´t see a big problem since they only put money mostly for the release (publicity) and destribution, basically they are only getting money from the US screens and for the future VDH release.
Yes:
1.- Legendary is now a Chinese company and is getting 50% of the ticket sales there.
2.- The budget is not that big (160m).
3.- Most of the Warcraft fan base is in the OS market anyway.
What do you think about this? it says Warcraft is heading to break records there.
