Notice that the P&A number that gets reported in trades is usually referred to as "media value", which isn't the same thing as "cash spent."
The leaked Sony numbers are likely closer to "cash spent," though likely not always that simple even there.
Simple. Infinity War's place is pretty much set. A bit of variation in the actual won't matter much, if at all.
Book Club's arc isn't quite locked yet, so this is far more interesting.
I really thought it would do ok based on people laughing at the trailer. But apparently they didn't do much else to push it.
I also don't know why it was filmed in South Africa. Go figure.
Why are you all arguing over something you're never, ever going to know?
And even if you did somehow find out, you'll never get the other key numbers on the balance sheet, so it's a completely pointless exercise.
" Knoxville fans per CinemaScore turned up at 48% last night, giving the pic a B-, while Action Point overall earned a C+, the lowest grade ever for a Paramount Knoxville movie (Jackass received an A-, 2 & 3 landed B+s with Bad Grandpa getting a B)."
When even your fanbase doesn't like it.
If that's the budget I can't imagine this not being very profitable when it's all added up. Participations will be quite high, I'm sure, but still plenty of money to go around.
I'm deeply skeptical money gets moved from one film to another very often. I'm sure it happens here and there, but it would be difficult to do on the bigger films which are monitored by more people.
The double feature accounting shenanigans are far more common, counting the full revenue for both films.
