War of the Rohirrim breaks box office record

for sucking. What, no thread?
Shocking that the Mary Sue lesbian girl boss-centered anime LotR failed. Don't worry. The talentless psycho lesbians who control Hollywood through their blackmail orgs will learn nothing and keep repeating the formula. They're women, after all.

5 million. Simply amazing.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, the Kenji Kamiyama-directed The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is projected to earn a 3-day opening weekend of $5 million, debuting at No. 5 at the domestic box office. This is a dramatic step down from the live-action installments in the Peter Jackson franchise, some of which rank among the highest-grossing movies of all time, earning it the lowest-grossing opening weekend of the entire Peter Jackson franchise.

I had a hunch that would happen
Once people found out it wasn’t live action but animated, the LOTR trilogy is just about perfect
This animated movie isn’t gonna add anything to it
An easy skip unless you’re just a diehard Tolkien fan

I think they lost those by diverging from the original lore.
Amazing really. LOTR stuff should be solid and sometimes blockbuster material.

No, that wasn't it. It's that they elevated a nameless female character and made her the savior of everyone despite having dumb men all around her. That formula has become synonymous with crap, and movie goers know it.

Tolkien fans will be the first to nope out on this garbage. It's for normies who kinda sorta enjoyed Rings of Power, and know next to nothing (shocker) about the actual books.
And this story? Has absolutely NOTHING to do with the LOTR saga. Nothing. Other than what is fanfic shoehorned into the story (maybe) as a member-berry to the Peter Jackson trilogy.

But of course, they basically rewrite the story and make Helm's daughter the hero who saves everyone. And is a lesbian.

Maybe it's just a different age now and things have changed, but I don't think it's just because it's animated. The original Hobbit animated movie was spectacular.

This film was put into development so that New Line/Warner would retain the rights to Tolkein. This was widely reported, and is part of the Deadline article your screen rant article is pulling from. It was made cheaply and had a miniscule P&R budget. They made it anime style because that's cheaper and quicker to animate than full cgi. It's much more likely that audiences didn't know about this movie than that they knew a single thing about a main character in the film. Warner hoped they could get people to the theater using the Lord of the Rings name alone, and they failed.
Nice screenshot though. 2 women standing close to each other definitely means this film was lesbian propaganda.

And none of that has anything to do with it sucking. Zero. Nice try, though. I knew one of you would try to make this argument.quote:

It was made for 30M and needs 75M to break even. That is a lot of money to spend to retain the rights. It will lose quite a bit.

Reviewers I trust:
The Critical Drinker
Nerdrotic
Both have ripped it to shreds.
As high as ticket prices are now, that’s enough for me to say “nope”.
Apparently the lesson on “get woke, go broke” still hasn’t been learned by these Hollywood idiots.

The conservative blogosphere has been using the below meme to describe left wing strategy for a long time. Seems fitting:
1. Identify a respected institution.
2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

Well, regardless of the protagonist or the politics... was this movie even advertised?
I swear the only things I ever saw or heard about it was on reviewer channels complaining about it. I don't even recall having seen the trailer.

I saw the trailer several times, including during football games. I just think a lot of people were turned off of it because of the early reviews. The nicest thing I heard said about it was that it wasn't as bad as Rings of Power.

I said I was going to go see it this weekend just simply because Peter Jackson was tied to it and even though I'm not an anime fan, I like that director (simply based off Blade Runner Black Lotus). But I couldn't make myself do it even with the free credits I have with Regal. Was trying to talk myself into going but I rewatched the trailer and it just doesn't look good enough to see in theatres.
I don't think I saw a single ad for this movie outside of tigerdroppings, but even if they did, that trailer is so uninspiring that I'm sure it still would have bombed.

It absolutely does not. The ONE ring still resided with Gollum under the Misty Mountains. Bilbo had not gone to his journey with the band of Dwarves. Of the 9 in the Ring party, only Gandalf and Legolas were alive during this time. (Though there's a chance Gimli, if alive, would be very young)
Sure, other characters which later would be involved in the Ring saga are present, but it's not a LOTR specific story. Unlike 'The Hunt for Gollum' which will come out sometime later.
What SHOULD be about the origins of the legend of Helm Hammerhand is sadly lacking Helm as the central figure.
