As long as the reported prod budget of 60 is accurate, this one will make a profit even if it disappointed somewhat.

(The marketing budget won't be close to that of the big movies we see...probably 80+ I guess)

 

 

 

The Smurf 3 project with an summer 2015 release (that never happened) had planned

 

budget: 77.42 million

release cost: 99.87 million

177.29 million

 

The studio estimated break even point for that project was 47.2m domestic / 139m intl, 187m WW, for the co-financier a bit over 200m WW.

 

It was already a good cut from the previous 2 expense:

 

Smurfs:

Budget: 124 m

Release cost: 133.47 million

257.47 million

 

Smurfs 2:

Budget: 114m

Release cost: 120.16 million

234.16 million

 

If they went even smaller with a close to 60 million for the budget, it would not surprise me if they went as low as 80/85 million on that releasing too, with a break even point close to 165m or so.

ET is a masterpiece 

I saw it on a big Large Format Screen a few months ago and it was glorious. It was interesting experiencing it with a big crowd.

OS basically saved Smurfs from being a bomb. Sony has managed to get their budget lower compared to the $100-110m that their first few films cost mostly due to relocating Imageworks to Canada

Wonder Woman has proven she is in possession of the smoothest, longest and most beautiful legs in the superhero world!

At 371 WONDR will have added the same amount as AOU after the OW.

191.3 + 267.7 = 459

103.3 + 267.7 = 371

This move will really help SPA too. If Emoji has a $60M (and The Star potentially having a $40M budget due to outsourcing), they just need to do in the $200M WW to survive.

Mummy's legs are kicking in.

You guys have to stop saying overseas "saves" movies.  Movies aren't made for just domestic audiences.....this isn't the 80's anymore.  Films are given a budget (obviously there are the exceptions like most American comedies) based on what they hope it will make WW, not just domestic.  Saying it's saved by overseas numbers implies that this was never part of the ROI projection.

Well said, both are important but due to the smaller % of net OS, domestic is still crucial to a movies profitability. 

[GiantCALBears]

Companies project profits as well so saying that x profit means a movie was a giant success or failure can be misleading. Perspective. 

[ChipDerby]

We're following one of the greatest CBM box office runs of all time.

Depends on the film, something like Bridget Jones which was made primarily for the OS market was a huge success due to its reasonable budget, they could not released it in domestically and still made a profit.

I feel like WW could actually beat SM for the second place on that list. How insane would that be?

I should've prefaced for most movies, obviously regionally and country to country can have their own hits that do eventually reach the US and WW. My intention was on the films of US origin.

Off topic, just finished rewatching Fantastic Beasts with my brother. It is such a 'feel-good' movie! It was first time seeing it for him and he said it was good. He laughed a lot. And he kinda hates HP movies (I actually had to bribe him to watch them last year ).
