Hum seem like potential to make a good apparition on that list: https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/legs/front-loaded 55.97m or under to make the top 40 seem safe to achieve it.

By now it is safe to not take as factual the words of bitching people on the Internet.

Where did you heard that ?

Captain Marvel was announced in October 2014 with a 2018 release date a year before Ike departure: https://www.theverge.com/2014/10/28/7083641/captain-marvel-movie-announced-marvels-first-female-superhero I imagine they sometime do not do announced movies, but even with him they would have one day made some I would imagine.

Looking at the timeline Chazelle was hired for this after Whiplash, not La la land. Gosling signed in 2015: https://deadline.com/2015/11/ryan-gosling-neil-armstrong-movie-first-man-damien-chazelle-1201636876/ With Chazelle already being the director attached, maybe they boosted the budget a little bit after all the La la land glory and that he got more liberties but I would imagine it was never cheap considering the story.

I think we should take has a near fact Brie Larson is not lying about the report being false. Could have been about the money too.

Yeah that exclude countries with parents that do not drink wine also and with a very industrious anglo-saxon like mindset.

Not sure who they in that sentence, nor the kind of money you are talking about. But no not necessarily, the twilight trio could ask life setting fortunes, same for the Harry Potters kids with most of them having no illusion they could ever carry a blockbuster on their own. It work by Offer/Demand and not recasting a character has a lot of value that can be independent of the ability of the actor to carry blockbuster on their own and how much they can get at a competitor. If you by they a Cumberbatch / Rudd type getting more than those 300-500k type of rumors for the Thor/Captain america debut, it is because they did much more than that in other movies in the past, building their quote up over year's of work and building fanbase (in interesting market for Cumberbatch, strong in Asia).

Outside the Anglo-saxon world pretty much every kid do.

Many of those factor must be factored of what the worst possible scenario of a MCU branded movie can do internationally. THe movie being bad being an other one (been a long time since we saw that happen)

Certainly is: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/gone-but-not-forgotten-gone-with-the-wind-is-still-americas-favorite-movie-300010911.html In 2008 it made the top 10 favorite movies Harris Poll: TABLE 1 FAVORITE MOVIE "What is your favorite movie of all time?" Unprompted responses Base: All adults 2008 2014 Gone with the Wind 1 1 Star Wars 2 2 Titanic * 3 The Godfather =9 4 Lord of the Rings 4 5 The Sound of Music 5 6 Dirty Dancing * 7 Wizard of Oz 6 8 It's a Wonderful Life * 9 E.T. * 10 In 2008 Notebook was at number 7 above the Godfather.

This is a first time I ever heard something like that. What being contractually obligated to do a movie without setting a price tag to be negotiated would even mean ? What if Larson say no to the negotiated price of Captain Marvel 2 ? Why have any contract ? Has for the price skyrocket if the first one hit big, well yes an no, those deal are for covering the studio in how much they will have to pay the people if the movies become really big hit (and actor protect themselve in getting nothing if they do not get big hit), sequels compensation can have close with how much the previous made I imagine, but that could be fully encapsulated in the first movie compensation if your are locked for many. Her, Paul Rudd and Cumberbatch would be people that could have started with an higher price tag than many yes, being well established the moment they signed on those.

Solo loosing that much is a bit harsh, trade at it around 50m to 80m type of range back in the days from memory. Say the budget was around 265m net with a 150m WW P&A. Disney star wars tend to get nice distribution deal and tend to sell well as collectible and so on on home ent. Domestic heavy could have been an around 48% retention rate WW for a 188m in revenues, if it does a 40% in rental that a 470m in total revenues (excluding merchandise, like you said how much 2018-2019 star wars sales will be from it, could be hard to calculate). 265m direct production cost net of tax credits, 150m WW P&A, 35m home ent world release, 9m in residual, if they give a pass and count a 10% overhead of 26.5m and you end up around a 15m lost. If it does a 45% in rental a near 80m lost. If the net budget was more around 285m net and a 45% in rental could reach 100m lost. That is with no one getting first dollar gross, could be possible that the writer's considering their track records and some producer did.

The last one Ant Man achieved 400m because of an impressive 120m made in China. The base is probably more Ant Man foreign run minus a 10% for some margin if the movie does not play well with a possible 85m in China, that would be around 340m. That what the first Ant-Man did not so long ago.

They are certainly getting made for the family audience more than the male teens one. According to Cinemascore Audience above 25 Venom: 36% Guardian 2: 60% Ant-Man 2: 58% Thor 3: 63% It was boy heavy also versus the recent MCU gender split affair I think. That said SpiderMan for the MCU already did that a lot, going for the 12 year's old. Deadpool for the hole weekend was 53% over 25, 62% guys, Deadpool 2 preview thursday was 61% male, 62% over 25.

You can look at how much they cost without having made the CGI yet by looking at say Annie budget breakdown: Last 2 pages for the top sheet resume: https://wikileaks.org/sony/docs/03_03/RISKMGMT/Production Files/Annie/Budget/Annie - Budgets.pdf Making the script / buying movie right can often close to 10 millions. Producer, 2 to 5 millions Cast: 10 to 20m easily Director: 2 to 4m Living & Travel for above the line people can go to 1 million if shoot on locations. Living and transport for the regular crew can reach 8-10m Score/ music can cost 2 to 5m After that a domestic release can easily cost 40 to 55m International release tend to be cheaper for size (you can less return but often do not pay has much), but can still be easily 45-55m world Home ent release can cost 35m Count 10-15% of the movie budget in overhead residuals: 5 to 12m And people with participations bonus. You can easily reach a 200m total cost for a 50m movie. You can certainly easily reach 250m total cost for a 103 to 120m movie like Wrinkle in Time.

Captain philips total cost ended up at 225 millions, Moneyball at 169m, Elysium 272m, Girl with the dragoon tattoo 281m isshh. 250m is not Deadline total cost evaluation, only production + WW release P&A and not that specially high for a giant movie with a planned world release.

I think that world P&A they were going for was before Disney cut their lost and made small release in many market when they didn't cancel it all together, but they were going low on the production budget at the beginning. Regardless that not really how: retention rate * Box office - WW P&A you can calculate a movie loss/gain. A movie source of income in average for a studio will often look like this: Domestic theatrical: 10 to 25% Intl theatrical: 10 to 25% domestic home ent: 15-30% intl hom ent: 8-15% domestic TV: 6-14% International TV: 10-20% You are leaving most revenues out of your rules of thumb equation. If you look here: https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2017-Annual-Report.pdf Disney studio ent division made 8.38b last year, only 2.9 billion of those were from theatrical (consumer product is so big they count it in their own division, not the movie one), they followed the very classic 35% from theater, 65% outside theater rules of thumb for movies studios. It varies the big 3D affair giant box office success can go closer to 45% of is revenues from theater if we do not consider merchandise or if it is not a good one for those and the small domestic heavy action movie can go closer to 25% of the revenues from theater, but you get the idea. You need something that is more balanced, most of the revenues are after theatrical and most of the expense are before the end of theatrical, making not taking into account the rest of the movie life quite far from reality and will make it look like almost no movies in the 2000s made any profits.

I get Solo being the biggest bomb because of what it represent for the franchise and so on. But if the 2 were just original movie. Wrinkle in time budget was around a gross of 140m (85m below the line in California alone), for still an above 200m WW P&A + net production budget for this, doing 132m WW. Solo made significantly more than 300m at the box office, almost 400m and quite the domestic heavy affair. The fact Disney finance is stuff so much alone chance the variable a bit, absolute lost/gain become more important than pure relative to the budget lost when it is 8 entity pitching in. I would think they are very similar, if Solo not a smaller looser.

Not sure why Larson would lie ? Hollywood Reporter learned can be full of BS (or half bs). Like you said a CM trilogy and 2 or 3 Avengers/Cameo deal would make sense. A deal is easy to void after 7 year's (pass the first day of the first movie shoot ? not sure how exactly it start) for an actor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Law The De Havilland Law is the informal name of California Labor Code Section 2855, a California law which prevents a court from enforcing specific performance of an exclusive personal services contract (i.e. contracts creating a non-delegable duty on the part of an individual to another party, and no other, to render certain services) beyond the term of seven calendar years from the commencement of service. So depending when she started on Avengers 3/4, that contract could be non-enforceable after early 2024. Making a 7 movie deal's quite shaky you are better to turn them fast, has for being common for Marvel stars I do not think we ever really knew any deal they ever signed yet, only rumors no ?

Locked for seven (I imagine they need to occur quite fast), no 5 million for 7 movies. About no one in Hollywood make only $15M, she will have performance bonus also to be possible to reach that type of numbers if the movie do well I would imagine.

By mistake.

Big Short was a 49.655M production (almost the same price tag has an American Hustle, quite cheaper than a Moneyball) https://fastlane.louisianaeconomicdevelopment.com/Film/FilmSearchDetails.aspx?ProjNum=Tbx5pp6EHFz07xsX8FjTww%3d%3d We have not seen much but Vice feature some desert / war sequence, maybe enough for that 10m more.
