Its common knowledge that movies adapted from video games can't solely rely on the gamers themselves to fill the silver screen seats, with a more broader take usually employed to get your "average" moviegoer to come and watch. This is most likely why Warcraft director Duncan Jones (Source Code, Moon) has

Jones also answered a number of questions, including just how much CGI versus real action we can expect. That answer is “somewhere between Planet of the Apes, Fellowship of the Ring and Avatar."
