Nope.
Yes, that was a good one. I should have said "it's nice to find a Chris Pine blockbuster/franchise movie I like."

- Start date
It's was produced/released by Paramount, so it probably is and will be, at least for a while.
This is a fun film 8.5/10
Just finished watching this. Was aware of but never played D&D in high school back in the early 80s. Was worried I might be lost if there was too much “inside baseball” but nope. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Pine was great (haven’t liked everything I’ve seen him in but he’s never disappointed me in a performance). They were all great. Reminded me of Stardust a bit. Another movie in which I had no foreknowledge and thoroughly enjoyed. Each case because of an excellent cast and set of performances.
Where is it now available?
Movie has been out on digital for a few months now. Paramount Plus as well. The blu ray is out now in the Colonies and on Monday in the UK.
This is such a good movie and is going to become a fantasy classic. The entire cast is incredibly charming and the movie moves along at a great pace.
Netflix Canada.
Yeah, I was in the mood to rewatch it on P+ the other night. Still a solidly enjoyable film. I think they struck a nice balance between the more serious elements and the sillier elements. I've gotten the impression from some of the BTS material that the cast had a lot of fun during production, and Sophia Lillis commented how the costume designers made a nice horned wig for Doric. The horn tips were magnetically attached to the bases, making the wig very simply to put on, but the drawback was they would pop off regularly whenever she did action scenes. 
Hi peeps! Sorry to necro-thread revive: I just watched this last night and absolutely loved it!
Personally, I thought it well-balanced in appealing to wider audiences while being quite funny and acknowledging the lore - which is quite a feat, IMO.
Hoping there will be a sequel, as it was a great setup with a fantastic cast, and FWiW, Chris Pine has expressed interested in a sequel, during a recent interview:

Eeek! So sorry - the google search time sig suggested recent, so apologies for missing that completely!
I watched it on Netflix a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. Not only was it a great story with decent acting and a lot of fun effects. I loved the conceit that the movie is actually the fantasy world of a group of players--without saying so, the dialogue reminds me so much of sitting around a table and rolling dice. Every time they start spitballing ideas and come up with some wild, creative approach that they might be able to accomplish at their obviously low experience level, I had this huge grin on my face. I had low expectations for this movie and couldn't believe how good it was. It should have been a runaway summer blockbuster hit.
Which reminds me, I just watched The Fall Guy last weekend because my wife wanted to watch it. This is another movie that should have been a summer movie and probably would have done much better with the right marketing. They do this great meta thing where the characters drop lines about how movies are structured, created, and directed, and then they do those exact things on screen as part of the actual movie. The sound track is very 80s as a tribute to when the series was aired. And they are filming a science fiction movie that is some cross between Mad Max, Westworld, and an MCU story. If you haven't seen it, stick around for the two surprise cameos in the end credits scenes.

It's all over the internet; Elon is mad that WoTC bashed Gary Gygax:
