Paramount Pictures’ “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” rolled the dice by challenging Lionsgate’s “John Wick: Chapter 4” at the box office this weekend — and the gamble paid off.

Internationally, “Honor Among Thieves” debuted at $33 million for a worldwide haul of $71.5 million.
Co-directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” stars Hugh Grant, Sophia Lillis, Justice Smith, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page and Chris Pine as a ragtag bunch of travelers on an epic adventure inspired by the vast “D&D” universe. It’s worth noting that previous “Dungeons & Dragons” adaptations have fizzled theatrically: Critics panned New Line Cinema’s 2000 production, which tanked at the box office and spurred a pair of direct-to-video sequels. In the 1980s, a cartoon “D&D” series lasted three seasons.
