About Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie:
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is based on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting and has no connections to the previous film trilogy released between 2000 and 2012.
Production went through various phases in development since 2013, beginning with Warner Bros. Pictures after beating Hasbro and Universal Pictures in a lawsuit over the film rights to the tabletop role-playing game, before moving to Paramount Pictures, each with various writers and directors.
Goldstein and Daley were the final writers/directors, using elements from the previous attempt by director Chris McKay and screenwriter Michael Gilio.
Filming began in April 2021 in Iceland and later Northern Ireland. On August 19, 2021, Daley announced that filming had completed.
The visual effects are provided by Industrial Light & Magic, Moving Picture Company and Crafty Apes.
A companion album was released on June 23, 2023 with 14 songs inspired by the world of Taverns in Dungeons & Dragons, written by Lorne Balfe with directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 10, 2023, and was released in the United States on March 31, 2023, by Paramount Pictures.
The film received positive reviews from critics but underperformed at the box office, grossing over $208 million worldwide while falling short of its break-even point.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was released by Paramount Home Entertainment for digital download on May 2, 2023, and began streaming on Paramount+ and MGM+ on May 16 and 26, respectively. It was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 30. The home media includes deleted scenes, a gag reel, and various behind-the-scenes featurettes.
A television series based on the original game was in development at Paramount+, with Rawson Marshall Thurber serving as an executive producer and a showrunner.
In February 2022, a spin-off television series was announced to be in development. A part of a “multi-pronged approach” for television projects, the show is described as the “flagship” and “cornerstone” live-action series of the multiple projects in development; while the series will “complement” the film side of the franchise.
In January 2023, it was announced that Paramount+ gave the show a straight-to-series order and will consist of eight episodes, with Entertainment One and Paramount Pictures serving as the production companies.
In July 2023, Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins stated in an interview with Variety that a sequel could still possibly be made on the condition that it be produced on a smaller budget due to the disappointing box-office reception of the film.
