UPDATE: Warcraft movie director Duncan Jones took to Twitter to effectively dismiss the claim that his project is "a problem":
@CLAWX I wouldn't worry about that. Universal moved us to the same date as Jurassic World, so we must have done something right!

In a new report at Collider.com, it appears that there is growing tension between Universal Studios and Warcraft movie studio Legendary. The report indicates that Warcraft and a pair of other Legendary films currently in development are considered "problem movies", though what exactly this means remains unknown.
Over the summer, Warcraft debuted some footage at Comic-Con to mixed responses, especially from fans of the game, but Adam’s panel recap was determinedly positive, praising the footage for its wow-factor and exceptional CGI effects. However, a number of people express worry that the…let’s say, exceptionally nerdy…tone of the footage could be a challenge for a broad audience. As it stands, Warcraft still has a prime summer release date set for June 10, 2016, so there’s at least some confidence there.
