I’ll be glad it’ll be about Arthas and not Sylvanas.
That is something the writers could never sell in Hollywood…
…right…?

There won’t be another WoW movie. But the first one should of been about Arthas, the story people grew up, over trying to give Warcraft 1 a story as it did not really had any.

Huh? You mean Caddy Shack 2 Hollywood? Hollywood where original stories go to die? Yeah….it would never sell there! 
I would have preferred a story in Warcraft 2. They should have started the story in the middle of the pitched battled between the Alliance/Horde and then do a “pre-quel Warcraft 1”.
to be honest , the potline was scuffed , who care about old warcraft lore , WOW peak with the Lich King
Make a movie about the Lich king with Henry Cavill
This article is 6 years old , Microsoft now own Blizzard , they can throw money easily .
But first 10.0 + need to be successfull , Blizzard image
To be fair, Warcraft II would need a whole triology as big as Lord of the Rings to have anything moderately good of it being made a movie. But yeah that’d be my go to as well.
The movie had a 430 million global gross.
Name one recent movie that has grossed that much? I’m not really up on the movie thing so perhaps I’m missing something when it comes to recent releases but 430 million is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
I don’t even care about another WoW movie at the rate their writing is going.
Modern Sylvanas is very much inline with modern Hollywood and woke culture in general. She’s a female lead (big thing here) who has a traumatic past because of a man who has to embody girl power and rise above it all. She even gets to deflect all the bad stuff on an alter ego who has a trapped good side just waiting to be released all along. Also, of course, she’s conventionally attractive.
The problem with WoW movies is they’d have to be literally LOTR-levels of long to even scratch the surface and have a chance to do the story justice.

Easy.
Spider-Man: No Way Home $781,107,715
Doesn’t matter. WoW has investment from the Chinese Communist Party (Tencent) and Legendary Pictures, producers of the World of Warcraft movie, is owned by the Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group, so they just made sure the movie would do well in China. The movie did horrible in the United States. Watch this game be pushed more and more to the Chinese audience and not the Western audience. Probably explains all of the stupid changes to the game that have been made.
Okay?
Nearly a half a billion-dollar gross is not peanuts so stop implying that it is.
Yeah but you’re omitting that production is not the only fee involving movie. The grossing of Warcraft movie was not enough to cover the entirety of expenses. Which, is a pretty huge, detail.
Blizzard covered those expenses out of their own pocket to have the distribution of said movie across continents. The grossing the movie made, just like explained, doesn’t meet the margin required to be considered a success, and try to earn a profit that was not cutting it out in North America.

World of Warcraft budget: $160,000,000
Only made $47,365,290 in the United States, not even close to its budget. It had to be released in China for it to make up its budget. This is a movie made for the Chinese audience, not western audiences. In fact, everything about Blizzard’s World of Warcraft game leans to the Chinese market, which explains why they continue to lose subscribers.

I hope is not about Humans and Orcs, to be honest. I’d like a Well of Eternity movie, possibly the retconned version where Broxigar and Rhonin go to the past, so the entire movie is nout about Night Elves.
But a wrath movie sounds cool.
That said, hopefully is an animated movie like their cinematics and not with actors.
Rule of thumb is a movie costs double its budget after advertisement and cinema fees.
The Warcraft movie more-or-less just broke even, even with the Chinese audience.
Did you read the article you linked?
It said the production cost was 160 million. It still made a profit.
What was the production cost of the spiderman movie you linked?
