They were hoping to turn this into a franchise but the poor ticket sales have likely killed the franchise before it started. It might not even make a profit when all expenses are accounted for.
The fantasy-comedy film Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves has grossed over $207 million worldwide and was the 10th highest-grossing film of the year. As soon as you heard back in 2016 that this role-playing game adaptation would be making its way to movie theaters, you probably assumed that fans and anyone who favored the D&D cast which featured Hugh Grant, Chris Pine, Regé-Jean Page, and Michelle Rodriguez would be lining up to see this movie. However, its wrapped-up it's run in movie theaters, and the box office numbers say otherwise which might not be great news for the fans.
The chances of a movie receiving the sequel treatment all have to do with how well it performs at the box office. According to Box Office Mojo’s domestic box office numbers, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves did well during its opening weekend bringing in $38.5 million. However, as the movie continued to play on the big screen it didn't make as much, as it ended its with $93,054,502 domestically. These are disappointing numbers because that means this D&D movie didn’t meet its estimated $150 million budget. This infuriating box office number might cost us the sequel because of its underperformance.
