How successfull will this be?

I watch Uwe Boll things. I'm proud to have a DVD of Rampage, and other films such as in the name of the king is OKAY and house of the dead terrible, but funny. I will see whatever rubbish or masterpeices he throws out. However, upon seeing this rocket to 52 in the moviometer on IMDB I wonder if this viral marketing works. He was a natorious name: but any publicity is good. Uwe Boll is confident, already stating he will make a bloodrayne 4 "for money".

THe first bloodrayne with Ben kingsley and prostitudes reacouped at most 2/10s of its $25 mill budget, spending $10mill on advertising (that there was a lawsuit over) and may have lost $27 million in an error where they shiped 5500 extra reels to cinemas that didn't want it. However, its DVD (with lots of features and even a copy of a game- worth $25?, movie sold for RRP $26.99) went on (So i've heard) to ship 1.6 million copys in America, with rentals and TV distributions and other countries may have been success. Not least because of German tax law also.

It spawned a sequel: blood rayne 2 and now this. My question is: How successfull will this be? Will Uwe's next film be hitting the cinema's again?

I don't think it will be making it to Cinema's from what i was reading on www.videogameadaptations.com its getting a straight to DVD and Blu-ray release. Its seems like a lot of people are looking forward to this movie because of how close it is to the first game. and according to www.Videogameadaptations.com it also seems like there is already a Bloodrayne 4 in the works.

It is closer to the game, but its still far from the actual setting of the game. I mean its like Alone in the Dark, it had Edward and Aline, but didn't follow the plot of The New Nightmare.

Its not cause there is nazis that its the adaptation of the first game.

Where are the deamites?
If the doctor is a male version of The Butcheress(herself based on a fusion of Joseph Mengele and Elizabeth Bathory) then he is never near her standing
If the Commandant is supose to be a version of Jurgen Wulf... again he dosen't come close to him.
Where is Beliar?
Where are Kommando, Mynce, the other creature from the game?

Basically like i said, he does take SOME parts of the first game, but its never a straight adaptation.
