Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has surpassed box office expectations, having pulled in a respectable $38.5 million during its opening weekend in the US.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star-studded fantasy, which is inspired by Hasbro's tabletop game of the same name, was geared up to make $30 million over that same time period – but positive reviews and enthusiastic word of mouth has caused more cinemagoers to show up than initially anticipated. So much so, in fact, that the film took out John Wick: Chapter 4 as the nation's #1 movie of the week.
Globally, the Paramount and eOne picture has made around $71.5 million, which isn't far off half half the $150 million it supposedly cost to make. Among the countries where it topped the chart, the UK led with a strong $4.3 million.
Now, the pair must reunite what's left of their crew to stop the villainous pair, earn back the trust of Edgin's estranged daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman), and save Neverwinter.
