TheMonster Hunterfilm is expected to do well, so much so that thewriter has already started working onMonster Hunter 2. It makes a lot of sense, as theResident Evilfilms have grossed over $1.2 billion dollars with a total budget of under $300 million. Of course, thoseResident Evilflicks are also a Capcom entity starring Milla Jovovich. TheMonster Huntermovie has a budget of just $60 million, meaning it won’t take much to break even and start building up a nice profit.
TheMonster HuntermeetsMonster Huntercrossover is one that could draw a bit more excitement to the movie. Milla Jovovich is a well-known actress in the world of video game movies, and being able to play as her in-game is certainly interesting. However, these crossovers can also start to get confusing. The movie is based on the video game license, and now a character from the movie that is based on the game makes an appearance in the game.
Monster Hunter Worldis directly competing againstWonder Women 1984in December, as both movies are releasing the same week. This year has been a difficult one for Hollywood and specifically theaters that have either been shut down, limited, or simply affected by those who are choosing to stay at home in an attempt to be safe.
TheMonster Huntermovie is looking to try some interesting things while staying true to its source material. TheMonster Hunterfilm will even be bringing catsinto the mix, just as the game has them as lovable sidekicks. The more the game and movie share ideas and content, which includes Milla Jovovich and Captain Natalie Artemis, the more likely the movie will feel like it is truly a part of theMonster Hunterexperience as a whole.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborneis out now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
