How did this sequel dig its way into our top 10? It all boils down to the $50M in merchandise, per sources. Understand the following: Some movies are greenlit based on their ability to spur merchandise sales, and that was the justification here for this $30M production, split evenly between Canada-based Spin Master and Paramount. As such, it’s a line item here in the P&L. Other blockbusters such as The Super Mario Bros Movie and Barbie, though rich with merchandise sales, didn’t have greenlights contingent on consumer products. Paramount is the licensor of the consumer products and works on everything from towels to toothbrushes to pajamas. Spin Master gets $10M in participations from the movie. The $70M in revenues includes the cost for which Paramount sold the movie to streaming service Paramount+. A total of $114M in net profit has easily paved the way for a third movie, which has already been scheduled for release on July 31, 2026.
