Well they tried that with arguably the most well known fantasy world in existence, D&D, and it flopped because too many people need their worlds spoon fed to them.

The dnd movie did not flop at all, who told you that?

Relative to its budget it was considered sort of a box office failure, from what I've heard. Maybe I'm mistaken. It was probably my favorite movie of the past few years for what it's worth, wasn't trying to bash it.

200M box office on a 150M investment, means a net loss after marketing and distribution costs
