so apparently this film's net budget was $326 million.

None of those movies can make money from the legacy movies shooting up to the top of the charts again or merchandising. Also something like Monkey Man had a large amount spent on marketing.

2025 should be better than 2024 but not a great year or anything. I’m thinking all the superhero films flop/underperform and Avatar 3 if it comes out will make most of its gross in 2026
Someone trustworthy on another forum I frequent said they saw a test screening. Said it is clearly a remake. They seem to be scared to market it as such though
Melissa Berrera shouldn’t have been fired for her opinions but she is a bland actress and her leaving Scream is no loss acting talent wise and won’t effect the box office of 7
I do not think Ghostbusters is dead. The fact that even a poorly received installment has a baseline of $100 million domestic and Sony lacks many franchises . They will find some way to continue it
