Considered a bomb,yay or nay?

shareYay. Film has made about $79 mil over two weeks, about 50% of that goes to the studio. Since the budget was at least $70 mil (not including advertising), the film will need to make twice as much just to break even. As far as the studio is concerned, this is a bomb.
sharelol they get way more than 50%-.
shareActually, no... in most cases the studio's get right around 50% of the domestic box office:

To quote from that site:
Typically, slightly more than half of all dollars sold in tickets goes to the studio/distributor for the first few weeks of its release. This percentage does lower over time. This is why production companies, studios and distributors obsessively "front load" a big budget movie to have massive openings. YES, they do want a movie to make money for as long as possible ("Avatar" made its bazillions over months of time). But the movies that cost tons of money ("Blockbusters") need a massive amount of ticket sales to justify their production.
There have been cases for some major blockbusters where the studios have forced theaters to accept a different percentage (see the issue with Disney and "The Last Jedi"):

However, for most cases, determining the studio take to be around 50% is fairly accurate.
