Made nearly $400 million
Not bad, eh?
shareAccording to IMDB:
Budget:$90,000,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend USA: $41,082,018, 28 July 2019
Gross USA: $142,043,677
Cumulative Worldwide Gross: $389,292,271
Marketing cost is usually about the same as production cost, so the total cost is about $180 million.
Movie makers usually take around 50% of domestic box office and 30% of international box office, 142*0.5+(389-142)*0.3=145. So far box office revenue is around $145 million.
Another $35 million to go to turn a profit.
Armchair box office analyst. Using your retard logic almost no movies make any money.
shareFollowings are some statistics of Hollywood movies:
Of the 29 Hollywood blockbuster movies I studied, 14 generated a profit and 15 lost money.
Here are the combined financial figures for all 29 Hollywood blockbusters (budgeted over $100m)…
Total combined budgets: $4.37 billion
Total combined costs (including budgets, marketing and all other costs): $11.52 billion
Total combined income (from all revenue streams): $11.95 billion
Profit across all movies: $428.9 million
An average profit of $14.8 million per movie
That means for your 1% investment you would have spent $115.2 million, received $119.5 million back and made a profit of $4.3 million (i.e. a profit margin of just 3.7%). Considering that there is a delay between when you put the money in and when all revenue has been recouped, I think it’s certainly possible to imagine that you would lose this ‘profit’ to inflation.

Although glamorous Hollywood movies are not very profitable, mutual funds could have better returns. Maybe with exception of Disney (it owns Marvel & Star wars, etc.).
I think people in it mostly to have sex with beautiful people. share
