I just re-watch the new D&D movie on Netflix. Seen it a few times now and love it. Do you think we'll get another? I hope so and I want to see more Underdark. No, the Adama. I want to see the cast get totally trolled into committing suicide using Illusion magic and over come it to defeat the Adama.
On the same level as Honour Among Thieves? I doubt it, not for a while at least. It didn't do all that well at the Box Office - in fact, it almost certainly made a loss.
They will make more films though. I seem to remember there was talk of another one being made. It would be much lower budget though, so the takings aren't so pressured.

Well Hasbro liquidated the film studio that made Honor Among Thieves, so there is likely not going to be one any time soon.
Ironically, the older D&D movies not made by Hasbro are pretty fun, if super cheesy, but they can be a pain to find unless you know where to look. They aren't 5E based, but are pretty recognizable as D&D, even if things work differently in the background.

As others have said Honour Amoung Thieves was considered a flop and Hasbro ended up selling the film studio that made it as a result. However Hasbro's approach to D&D as an IP outside of the TTRPG does seem to be one of chasing whatever trend seems to be working, at the moment Baldur's Gate 3 made huge amounts of money so every interview is about how great gaming is and how they're throwing all their weight behind that but if the Forgotten Realms show on Netflix ends up being huge we'll almost definitely see them frantically rebuying their film studio because they think live action is where it's at

... you mean that one from three decades ago that was utterly horrible? I hated that movie the Wayans brother was the only good character. Roll
I think the movie did terribly just because of timing it was just after COVID and theater sales are down regardless. I better Prime and Netflix will save it. Just gotta wait for those two to finish the run and see how many views it got.
One of the main problems was that it released the same time as Super Mario Bros., which sucked all the attention and money. If it hadn't been for that, it would probably have done ok at least.

The 2023 D&D movie released late March of the same year, and was after the biggest mistake the company had made in the months leading.
The Covid pandemic was around the 2019-2021 timeframe, and at the time of theatrical release the actors guild was raising a fuss about deepfake Ai useage, so the reason for the movie’s average performance in terms of success was due to just bad timing.
As for a new movie, I don’t see that happening anytime in the next two or three years, as currently Hasbro has bigger issues to resolve first.

The franchise earned brand power thanks the movie but they didn't earn enough money in the box-office.
The partnership with Paramount ended, and I don't know if those actors could play again the same characters. What a pity because I loved Sofia Lilis as Dolric the druid. I hope we could see them again in some cameo in the art of the future sourcebooks or some comic or novel.
Now Hasbro wants to try it with Netflix.
The first movie, that with Thora Birtch and Jeremy Irons wans't boring but... I watched better ones.

I don't know for movie, but there is a live-action DUNGEONS & DRAGONS serie called The Forgotten Realms in development at NETFLIX
