Warcraft is now the highest-grossing video-game film ever

The Duncan Jones film has surpassed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to take the crown

Whether you liked or disliked Warcraft is neither here nor there - it's done mega business at the box office and, in the eyes of the studio, that's all that counts.

In fact, such is the film's profit that it's surpassed Prince of Persia to become the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time.

With thanks to Box Office Mojo, we can see that the film has already made a staggering $3776.6 million in the global box office; what's more impressive is that Duncan Jones' film is only set to build on that figure considering it's only in its third week of release (Persia made $336 across its entire run).

It seems the negative reviews failed to dampen audience's spirits, especially in countries outside of the UK and US - specifically Japan where, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Warcraft made over $200 million.

The film received renewed publicity last week following the surfacing of an interview which saw a British journalist take filmmaker Jones to task on the film.

Video game adaptation Warcraft stars Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell and Paula Patton.

​It was recently announced that Persia star Jake Gyllenhaal is returning to the video game realm with an adaptation of Ubisoft's record-breaking The Division.
