MrPink Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The studio's only gonna get around 50% of that 364. So with your numbers, 182 - 178 = 4m profit (without considering marketing, which is probably around 150m too). In the long run, it'll probably eke out a profit, but not much. Maybe WB didn't go with the full on blockbuster marketing budget of 150m. But they probably did, didn't they? Man WB likes to live on the edge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviefanatic Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Also as far as comic book films go I'd have to say 2014 has been another top tier summer with GOTG/DOFP. Not quite as good as summer 2008 with TDK/IM1 but definitely on par if not a bit better than 2012 with TDKR/Avengers. Agreed. This year was faaaaaaar better than last years( didn't enjoy any of 2013 offerings). I also prefer this years comic book movie offerings more than 2012 offerings. Also in general, we had a ton of quality films this summer compared to last year. Edited August 31, 2014 by Moviefanatic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 150m or so is pretty standard these days. I think I remember a time when Transformers' marketing budget was considered insane, and now it's standard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Also as far as comic book films go I'd have to say 2014 has been another top tier summer with GOTG/DOFP. Not quite as good as summer 2008 with TDK/IM1 but definitely on par if not a bit better than 2012 with TDKR/Avengers.It's better than 2012 as GOTG > The Avengers > DOFP > TDKR.I'd say on par with 2008. I'd personally put Guardians over TDK but quality wise TDK is better, and both DOFP and GOTG are better than Iron Man (although iron man is still fantastic).If you add to the fact that Cap 2 came out this year and Big Hero 6 is coming out later this is going to be the best year for comic book movies ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrylos 7 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yep, I weep for humanity. Generic Marvel movie with talking tree and raccoon. I don't get it, why do you see this as a "marvel movie" and not an entertaining sci if film? Most of the viewers didn't even know these characters . How is it generic, is it like the iron man movies or the captain America ones or even the avengers ? Oh and what's wrong with a talking tree and a raccoon, if nothing else like the Star Wars fan that you are shouldn't you appreciate these weird characters ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 150m or so is pretty standard these days. That is an outrageous amount. So how much are marketing budgets for the more mid-sized budgeted films? Like, would a $50 million film typically still have a $100-150 million marketing campaign?

TMNT was hardly inventive/original. Some of the jokes and themes were rehashed from the 90s movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
