I doubt they are making many more. It tanked in office. Heroic fantasy movies
don't sell that well, with some exceptions.
Try to publish fantasy novels and you will find that every publisher wants
urban fantasy, or grimdark, but never high fantasy or anything heroic.
That said, one of the things I loved form the D&D movie is a hidden love letterto RPG nerds that will get lost in the big audience: they captured perfectly
the actual thrill of being an RPG player.
What I mean with this is that when the characters sat together to build a plan,brainstorming stupid shit, then agreed to try something, and that something
failed misserably because of an unknown factor... it was so, so so so much likewatching actual RPG players mess up around the gaming table.
