Wonder if all the hub-bub and flak WOTC introduced with their "leaked OGL change" will have any affect on this movie.  Lots of DnD people seem to be up in arms.

I get so confused nowadays with what the latest outrage topic is against a movie or show. Even with Avatar 2 where a Native American group was demanding it be banned. I had to look this one up.

For a few months now, there’s been a serious controversy brewing in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, as fans began to hear rumblings from D&D owner Wizards Of The Coast (itself owned by Hasbro) about upcoming changes to the games’ Open Game License, an expansive document that allows third-party publishers to use elements from the Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks—classes, spells, and monsters, for instance, but also base gameplay rules, like rolling a 20-sided die to resolve attacks or skill checks—for their own content.

Rumors (spurred on by leaked documents) that the OGL might be revoked, or significantly altered, in the near future have already produced multiple apologies from WoTC, as well as real financial consequences, with reports that users have canceled their subscriptions to the company’s online D&D Beyond service in response to the reports. And then, today, angry users managed to get #BoycottDNDMovie at least briefly trending on Twitter.

Time will tell what impact this has.

Yeah, I'm not huge into the DnD community, but this change to the OGL that was leaked seemed to be a pretty big deal.  As well as the leaked "rumors" that Hasbro/WOTC was looking to increase the DnD Beyond subscription price from like $5/$10 a month to $30 a month.  And lets be honest, at this point for a DnD movie you really need the goodwill of actual DnD fans.
