Please stop this..
Domestic; studio takes 50%
China: studio takes 25%
International: studio takes 43%
The production cost are offset by profits from box office.
Marketing cost are offset by profits from DVD/ Blue-ray / television rights / streaming..
About streaming: HBO Max pays a small part too (10 M?) and keep in mind that there coud be new suscribers that also help to make a profit to offset the marketig costs as well
If Dune makes 100 M Domestic + 50 China + 235 International = 163,5M to the studio (50+ 12,5 +101) (That would be great for me in that conditions)
Remember Godzilla vs Kong was: 100M Domestic +188 China + 179 International=174 M keeps WB (50+47+77) and it was cosidered a success against the same budget
Stop being so negative with Dune please!!!!! I didnt see this numbers and negative % in 007, SC, Venom
And this is my first post , glad i find this amazing forum!!
