Dungeons & Dragons film release and performance

Overview

The film ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ was released in March 2023, following a group of adventurers attempting to recover a lost relic.

Directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein later attributed the film’s box office failure to a ‘perfect storm’ of poor timing. They noted that the release occurred just four days before the record-breaking launch of ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’. Furthermore, the film faced negative reception due to player boycotts surrounding proposed changes to Wizards of the Coast’s Open-Gaming License.

While Paramount has declined to produce a sequel for financial reasons, the directors expressed hope that another studio might continue the franchise.
