>That said, the movie isn't going to perform well because the company which owns the IP just did something which alienated their entire fan-base months prior to the release.

Didn't they roll back "the plan" and are releasing under creative commons?

They did, but my sense is the damage has already been done. There's been a lot of "too late" and "shown their true colors" chatter in the TTRPG sphere.

Paizo certainly attempted to capitalize, but even with the "true colors" it's going to be really hard to unseat the big dog.

Oh, for sure! And we'll have to see if fans are still willing to turn out for the film - my feeling is that the timing was real bad for it from a marketing standpoint. A lot of the fans who might have otherwise been willing to turn out for the film are now going to still have that bad taste in their mouth.

I suspect many may be like me and just wait for streaming.
