WARCRAFT CROSSING USD400M WORLDWIDE BOX OFFICE

Warcraft has now earned $412m worldwide, with another six final territories opening this weekend.

It was $221m in China and $147m overseas elsewhere which brought the film crossing the $400m mark worldwide becoming the first ever video game movie to do so. Warcraft was made at an estimated $160m which is a considerable big budget movie for its genre.
