Universal does it again


A 75 million dollar budget and likely to be a worldwide hit.

Oh...and since I learned from billbrown that marketing costs are irrelevant, this only has to make 150 million worldwide to break even. Everything after that is pure profit!

Universal is the least performing studio out of the big 3 , only 1.6 billion made after 19 releases , that’s pretty pathetic , 13% market share , sorry to burst your bubble queen but this studio performs very poorly

If it wasn't for the Despicable Me franchise Universal would probably be bankrupt.

OW: $21m domestic + $10m foreign

On a 75 million budget and most markets haven't opened yet. China could be bonkers.
.DreamWorks films are famously leggy. They don't do the whole 200 million budget thing so profitability is much more easily achieved.

32 % drop at weekend, yes queen really leggy , another loss for universal

Fun factoids: Frozen (2013) budget was $150 Million. Frozen II budget was $170 Million. Both movies grossed over $1.2 Billion and $1.4 Billion respectively.

Abominable grossed $176 Million Worldwide on a $75 Million dollar budget and you trot out terms of profitability as if you have a clue as to how it is to be achieved or measured.

No. No it wasn't likely to become a World-Wide hit. What makes, and I used that word decidedly also, what MAKES you say these silly and outlandish statements? Does Universal have something on you?

With a $20 Million dollar opening we observed the following:
Domestic (34.3%)
$60,716,390
International (65.7%)
$116,200,000
Worldwide
$176,916,390
But in your view, er, uh I mean opinion, Frozen II under performed? Really, really?!
