ArcLight Cinemas brings the highly-anticipated WARCRAFT film to life in an epic touring in-theater experience
(Los Angeles, CA)
The battle begins as ArcLight Cinemas, Legendary,
and Universal Pictures announce the launch of a
traveling in-theater installation featuring a larger-than-life statue
of Horde warrior Orgrim, one of the stars of this summer’s epic
cinematic adventure WARCRAFT. Starting today,
moviegoers throughout Southern California will have an opportunity to
come face-to-face with the incredibly lifelike orc and his iconic weapon
the Doomhammer, both crafted by WETA Workshop, known for their groundbreaking work on iconic films like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies, as well as Mad Max: Fury Road.
The
mighty Orgrim statue is over 10 feet tall and weighs in at 550 lbs. The
character comes to our world from this summer's highly anticipated movie
based on one of the biggest fantasy franchises in entertainment
history: Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft game series. Visitors to participating ArcLight Cinemas are sure to be captivated by the grand scale and intricate detail of this mythic WARCRAFT character.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring a character that lives in the imaginations of so many to physical life,” said Emily Castel, Legendary CMO. “I cannot wait to see people’s reactions as they encounter this imposing character in their local theaters and become immersed in the magical world of the film.”
“Having a life-size Orgrim exhibit for our guests is an exciting part of the full ArcLight experience that we are proud to provide to our fellow movie-lovers,” said Gretchen McCourt, Executive Vice President, Cinema Programming, ArcLight Cinemas.

About the Film
From Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures comes WARCRAFT, an epic adventure of world-colliding conflict based on Blizzard Entertainment’s global phenomenon.
The
peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its
civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing
their dying
home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds,
one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing
sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the
fate of their family, their people, and their home.
So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.
