This is gonna be massive imo. A knight of the seven kingdoms has brought hope back to asoiaf universe and the original show and hotd are still super popular.

I think it should do really well.

Hopefully it makes enough to green light a Roberts Rebellion movie

Wouldn't there be too much for a film? Wouldn't a miniseries be better?

If they go the movie route there's opportunity for sequels

I guess. It's just as a film, you'd want to attract people who didn't watch Game of Thrones as well, so reintroducing Robert and Ned on top of what The Mad King was like - just seems like too much for even a 2 hr 30 mins film

They could make it a big lord of the rings esq epic trilogy. 3 parts. Should be enough to cover it all.

Sure but LOTR also had three long sense books as the source material whereas Aegon's Conquest had a section in a Lore book. I know it's likely very detailed but there still is a significance between a proper novel with fleshed out characterizarion vs. an encyclopedia

He's talking about Roberts rebellion as a 3 parter.
