But you are right. On 11/8/2017 at 11:48 AM, titanic2187 said: Given that $300m production budget, this movie may needs $1b to break even, which could be hard for DCEU if WOM isn't great..... Would be curious how you came up with that number, it is true that revenues for the same box office are maybe going down in recent year's, but a 3.333 multi for break even for a giant budget movie sound really high, specially one that play heavy domestic. The difference in box office between break even and say the 14% ROI can be giant. For example Amazing Spider man 2 Main expense (at break even point): Net budget: $261m World release spent: $195m Parcipation bonus: $39.5m Overhead: $31m Residual: $15m The estimated break even point for the studio point of view 216.7m dbo / 400m intl, 616m WW (that would give an estimated $578.38m in revenue) Return GP break (for the studio to make a 14% return 298.5m dbo / 549.8m intl, 848.3m WW (that would give around $748.98m in revenue) That big amount to do over the break even point to reach a nice rentability level has many reason, for example often talent participation bonus start to kick after the Break even point in many movie or become bigger after that point, co-financier also, often the studio pay themselve first and start to pay a bigger percentage to the venture capitalist after a certain zone, them taking a bigger risk of risking all but making a larger ROI in case of success. There is some revenues that can not scale up in a linear way, Netflix for example. If a movie need 1 billion to reach just a profit of 1$ (so a 800 million total expense or something of the sort), doing a nice ROI of 120-150m, could require to do something like 1.35/1.4b Take a movie like Deepwater Horizon that had a $156m gross budget and a around 130m net budget, I doubt it needed to do over 400m just to break even and 535m to make sense financially to do, it would have never been greenlight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 As I posted in China PS thread, I think 100m for JL can happen with above average WOM. Its PS will be ahead of Thor for sure. So with 100m in China I see it hit 550m OS for sure. I cant see it below Suicide Squad for OS-C. Mexico Cinepolis issue has resolved and so that would be a big market as well. Latin America and Asia will play a big role along with commonwealth (UK/AU) and France which is SH friendly. I see this beat BvS even in markets like Russia and Germany. I am optimistically predicting 600m at this point with better run than BvS. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest a DC film has gotten to Spectre's OS gross was TDKR with $636.8M. Justice League would require a $100M+ jump OS from BvS which is tough.

I am not so sure if we known much, it is unclear how relevant to the box office a 50 or 65 RT score is in the domestic market, it is even less clear oversea, each market has is own reviews and so on.

Heretic Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Doubt this does more than BvS in UK. Pre-sales looks quite weak actually. The BFI IMAX which usually sells out whole opening weekends for blockbusters like this hasnt even sold out one showing, not even Friday night or midnight. I sense some disappointment coming unless walk ups are huge.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll pick up over the week but it's definitely a heck of a lot lower than BvS at the same point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 Bond Skyfall (great reception + olympics and so on): 804.2m Spectre (mediocre reception): 680.6m Skyfall Adjusted for the 2017 exchange rates would have made $662m. 007 was not a monster before these 2 movies, and as you can see Spectre already had a drop, unless the next Bond had Nolan as a director, I'm pretty sure that 007 will fall again in the next movie. Spectre does not have 27% critical approval like BVS, it continues with fresh reviews of 63%, if the next 007 film has 40% -50% critical approval, I doubt it will be able to reach $500M OS. "Wonder woman (fresh): 409.5m" Wonder Woman is the first successful female lead superhero movie, and I'm sure she had to break down barriers in some markets because of that, And the first Wonder Woman movie, sequels to all (sucessfull) Hollywood blockbusters has a huge boost in the international markets. and 007 has movies since the 60s, he is a much more well known character internationally, Skyfall and Spectre were sequels of Bond/Daniel Craig, he already had Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace before Skyfall and Spectre. And the $420.5m OS of Suicide Squad is without China. Edited November 10, 2017 by bruchav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruchav Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think if JL has al least decent reviews it will make $600m OS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 currently presales are way lower than BVS in HK and South Korea, in China, PS are ahead of Thor 3, but DC movies tend to be more ps-heavy,so too warly to judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 550M-600M range is my guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be shocker if Thor 3 threepeated down under. E.g. I did review of presales for Thursday at 1 venue (normally quite strong) and it's like 10%-20% of avail seats sold to date.
