Agreed. Forward Unto Dawn drew 55 million unique viewers from what I've heard (that was in March I think, who knows how many more people have watched it since then, especially since it was added to Netflix). 55 million unique viewers times the average box office ticket price of $8, that comes out to $440 million at the box office. And a proper Halo movie would likely draw more viewers than Forward Unto Dawn anyway. And lets not forget sales once the movie goes to DVD and Blu-Ray. And the boost that it could bring to sales of the games and other merchandise by drawing new fans to the Halo franchise. 


I love halo( I mean look at my pic) but that 55 million number is bull crap. Forward unto dawn was like 5, 15 minute vids on YouTube. Microsoft added up all the views from each video to get that number, they spun it, which is fine everyone does it. So it was more like 10 million which IMO is still very good. I think a halo movie could easily be as big as the new Star Trek movies


Its on netflix and also sold on retail as well.  

All episodes of Forward to dawn combined on the official channel they submitted it on (Machinima) on youtube is 28m.  Not 55m

Lionheads new cutting edge game is probably Fable 1 remake for the xbox One with even DLC included

Ahh I thought you meant for 360 then but I see what you mean =P I don't really see Fable 1 Anniversary for XB1 as "Cutting Edge NEW Game" though so I don't think it will be that


this wouldn't be the first time a developer, specifically lionhead, hyped things up for no reason

Loll, True especially Lionhead =P I really hope it's not Fable 1 Anniversary for XB1 though, Would love for it to come but would rather have a new game

fable1 remake is going to flop on 360, not because it's a bad game, but because the hardcore people that buy remakes have gone to the xbox one. 360 sales are also heavily in decline so there's no hope in having new adapters picking the game up as their first game. 400k sales tops. They will HAVE to port this to the xbox one to make a profit. I would love a fable like game that focuses more on story and gameplay and less interaction with computer players
