Since its release in 2004, World of Warcraft has become one of the most popular, and enduring MMORPGs in history. Its success has seen it spawn multiple titles, novels, comics and even a movie. But the question on fans minds is whether or not the World of Warcraft movie is available on Netflix?
The short answer is no. While there are plenty of Warcraft-related titles available on Netflix, such as the animated series Warcraft: The Beginning, the live-action movie based on Blizzard’s iconic IP is nowhere to be found. This means fans looking to stream the film will have to look elsewhere.
The World of Warcraft movie was released in 2016 and directed by Duncan Jones who had previously helmed Moon and Source Code. It starred Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Dominic Cooper (Preacher) and Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol). In spite of its star power, the film was panned by critics with a 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It wasn’t a complete box office flop either; it managed to make USD$433 million worldwide off an estimated USD$160 million budget. It was even nominated for several awards at the Visual Effects Society Awards.
The lack of availability on Netflix is likely due to licensing issues as it was produced by Legendary Pictures who are part of Warner Bros.
Fortunately for WoW fans, there are still plenty of ways to watch it without having to resort to illegal streaming sites. Amazon Prime Video offers streaming rentals starting from USD$3.99 / £2.49 / €2.99 for SD quality up to USD$13.99 / £9.99 / €11.99 for HD quality.
In conclusion, while there aren’t any Warcraft movies available on Netflix right now, it can still be watched through other streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video.
