Avengers ended up getting its 94 days above $250k with actuals.  Another perfect call from @Charlie Jatinder

[MovieMan89]

Aladdin has become one of my all time favorite movies to track at the box office. The run has been amazing and I feel like there still might be a lot of gas left. 

[keysersoze123]

Endgame's domestic run is at its endgame for sure. its digital release is on wednesday. That should have a big impact on BO gross.

4K short on Sunday, 93 days?  

 

That Sunday drop is HUGE, actually. Wonder what is going on there.

Budget is $90 million. 115 million domestic isn't great for this. High cost with big payouts for everyone.

Not with Tarantino, Leo & Brad getting 30% of first $ gross.  That's $120m to them with $400m WW gross.

 

Quote

But unlike Baby Driver, which cost $34M for Sony and co-fi partners, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was an expensive play for an original movie, between $90M-$96M net (25% of that was co-financed by Bona Film Group). Just like Tarantino’s Hollywood is a throwback pic, so is its financial structure, we hear from sources, with 30% of the first dollar gross going to the filmmaker, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Brad Pitt in a first dollar pool. We hear that first dollar gross is typical on a Tarantino pic, and that between Inglourious Basterds and The Hateful Eight, he made around $75M between fees and profits. Typically, on a big star-driven tentpole like a Dwayne Johnson movie, profit is dispensed at a percent of cash break-even. We understand that in order for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to break-even, it has to make just north of $400M at the worldwide B.O., just under the $425.3M that Django

 

Dom:  $125m x .55 = $68.75m

O/S: $275m x .40 = $110m

 

= $178.75 to the studio

- $120m

 

= $58m.75 back to the studio (and finance partners) on a $90-6m budget + $100 marketing

 

Requires $131-37m in ancillaries to break even.  $400m break even is on the positive side.

That 120M if the movie generate more than $400M in revenus (usually some cost tend to be removed of what is called gross, like say residual or some mini of the top, when it is not just 20% of the dvds studio revenues that are counted has the gross like in the VHS days and that continued for a long time), not sure the box office is used in the calculation of a first dollar gross bonus (maybe they kick it higher if it reach some plateau too), it tend to be about gross revenues.

 

If they make over $400M in revenues

 

95M budget

120M in bonus

100M P&A

 

Over $85M left to go around to pay residual, cover overhead and home media release cost.

 

Django was expected to make $256M in ancillaries if it reached 430m WW at the box office.

 

In contract Gross Receipts is defined something like that:

 

 

(i) All money actually Received by the studio from the following: (a) Licenses by studio directly to exhibitors of the right to exhibit the Picture in any and all languages or versions, by any of the following means or methods:

 

     (1) in theaters to audiences who pay an individual charge for admission to such theater (including reissues),

     (2) by means of free over-the-air television, so-called “basic cable” television program services such as USA Network, or pay television program services such as HBO, 

     (3) by traditional non-theatrical means (i.e., for public exhibition of the Picture other than in theaters, such as in schools, military bases, airlines, ships at sea and/or prisons) and/or

     (4) by means of pay-per-view television.

 

(ii) An amount equal to Twenty Percent (20%) of Home Entertainment Gross Proceeds. “Home Entertainment Gross Proceeds” means all money Received by Columbia from the exercise of Home Entertainment Rights, less the total of:

      (a) the cost of preparing the masters used to manufacture Video Devices and/or used for the exercise of Video-on-Demand Rights,

      (b) any and all credit allowances, adjustments, rebates and/or refunds relating to the exercise of Home Entertainment Rights, including without limitation so-called price protection, slotting fees and the like, and

      (c) reasonable reserves for returns, exchanges and bad debts.

 

(iii) In respect of the exploitation of soundtrack recordings, music publishing, and merchandising in connection with the Picture,

 

I think it is more common to get 100% of Home Ent now (wasn't Tom Cruise was the first to get it on some Mission Impossible and it made a really big noise ?)

 

That can give an idea of gross receipt structure:

https://stephenfollows.com/much-tom-cruise-paid/

 

On that Tom Cruise got 15M + 15% of all the revenues, but Dvd revenues was calculated has 35% of the worldwide home video gross revenues, the other participant also got first dollar gross but the revenues calculation did let the studio remove 15% of them off the top and they got the usual smaller 20% of the Home Video revenues in their formula.

 

Singer got 10%, McQuarrie 4% (so 30% gross for the Valkyrie movie), both share raised after Break even.

 

Even for gross first dollar deal, revenues are calculated using a pre-determined formula and usually not actual gross revenues.

FWIW, Rothman says there's no first dollar gross involved. Perhaps that's bluster. But I'm still scratching my head at the purported components of the deal, so the other possibility I think about is that the sources are exaggerating/wrong.

Rothman: I'm not going to get into all that, although there is no first-dollar gross. I'll say this, is there risk involved? You bet. But you know what? It's like what my high-school coach told me, "No guts, no glory."

Yes I am really not sure who would both know that information and tell it to the press, I would not imagine bonus structure are need for tax credits/insurance coverage, etc... not a information known by nearly has many people than a movie budget. Not sure why Rothman would lie about it either and it would be something of a new for Tarantino to not get them, but why lie about something like that.....

Is this the first time we've had four $300m+ films in the Top 10 simultaneously? There were three a couple weekends ago (TS4, Aladdin, EG) and Jul. 6-8 last year (JW:FK, I2, Deadpool 2) and maybe some other weekends I've missed.

[Geo1500]

Imagine if deja-vu occurs in 2022 summer that mirrors 2019 line-up. 

 

May 27th to July 22th 

 

Toy Story 5

Aladdin 2 

Spiderman 3

Lion King 2 

 

My re-action if it were to occur exactly like that..

 

Not this shit again I will go on hiatus from box-office for a whole year if it were to occur just like that

 

The crazy thing is that it could actully happen just like that again. Aladdin, Toy story and Spiderman 3 should not seek out summer spot in 2022. I don't have anything against the sequels to these movies. I just want them to be separated and with different opening slots and dosen't have to come down on us like a chain once again
