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, movie-goers 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.
