Please tell me English isn't your first language, I'll be more sympathetic to that. This is the most ridiculous post I've read all day. You know nothing about the final production costs of any of these movies yet you are posting as if it's fact. It's not. Anything cited is a guesstimate. 😉 No, it is literally what you are fucking arguing. You flat out told me variables don't matter. In your mind Us might have "actually" cost as much as CM "because we don't know the exact dollar amount to the penny." You are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your mind Us might have "actually" cost as much as CM "because we don't know the exact dollar amount to the penny." You are ridiculous. That's "literally" what I argued? Do you know what the word literally means? Then go back and find the post where I said a movie that supposedly cost $250M to make but made $100M is "impressive". If that is my literal argument then surely you can pull up the post where it's said. 😉 I can look at Us and see that is cost nowhere near a huge tentpole. I don't need to see a filing for that. But if it's a huge tentpole vs. another huge tentpole and it's hundreds of millions of dollars that are involved then yes I'd rather see some raw numbers than try to guess. I mean unless Us had a crazy cosmic level CGI fuckfest in the third act.. I wouldn't know but that would be surprising if it occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expensiveho Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Whoa, according to Deadline huge hits like ASIB, JW:FK and The Grinch did not breakeven theatrically (with Deadpool 2 barely making it). Proving that this is an unrealistic standard people on the internet use to shit on a movie they hate to make it look like a flop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why sometimes a movie can do average at the box office and still get a sequel because it generates a following on home video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Wait, what? Didn't Fallen Kingdom do $1.3B? Barely broke even? That seems absolutely ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems absolutely ridiculous. Didn’t theatrically breakeven (i.e. make enough revenue from BO only to cover all costs). But @expensiveho‘s main point is that this illustrates how stupid the very concept of “theatrically breakeven” is, which they’re absolutely correct about.

If not for that, it would easily have broke even theatrically. Also remember that when we say break even theatrically we are only including profits from box office run but the cost includes everything (video release cost, overheads, interest, participation, etc). If we only include box office profits and only include the production+marketing+distribution cost then JW2 breaks even and makes a decent profit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 418 DOM-> ~209 revenue 630 OS-C-> ~252 Revenue 261 C -> ~65 revenue Total of 526M theatrical revenue via the 50-40-25 rule of thumb, Deadline estimated at 541. They’ve got the total costs at 612M, 170 production, 145 P&A, 200 participations, ~100 miscellaneous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeeSoh Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Well nevermind. Deadline just breaking their own stupid rule. Venom comes in at 6th spot on the most profitable 2018 movie list with $246.9m in estimated profits. https://deadline.com/2019/03/venom-box-office-profit-2018-1202583895/ This means that MI6 did not make the list. Remaining are (what I think the positions might be) 1) Infinity War 2) Black Panther 3) Incredibles 2 4/5) Bohemian Rhapsody/Aquaman Edited March 28, 2019 by ZeeSoh 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
