Yes you can but I’m sure those good movies didn’t have billion views hits etc. No competition really either. Shocked it hasn’t made more

I am so confused, I have absolutely no explanation and all the explanations i have heard? Ain't shit.

All the reviews and opinions for the most part? Are valid.

But I don't get THAT drop.

No one really does.

I know man me too!! I’m not sure why it drop and continues to drop! It just doesn’t make sense. It should be at at least 300 million or close to it by now domestically../
 
* regardless of all the bullsh*t youtube and twitter movie experts say? And no matter what EQUATION you want to rely on. It aint THAT easy to figure out IF a movie is profitable or not (BY DESIGN!). So concerning ourselves too much with grosses and budgets is a waste of time if we want ACCURACY.
production plus marketing times 1.5 equals your break even point for movies

or

production budget multiplied by 2.5


Breaking down movie profitability
You're right to connect production and marketing costs to a film's break-even point.
However, the calculation is more nuanced than simply multiplying those costs by 1.5. Here's a breakdown of how break-even is generally considered in the movie industry:
  • Production Budget + Marketing Costs: These are the foundational expenses that need to be recouped.
  • Box Office Revenue Split: The studio doesn't keep all the box office revenue. Theaters typically keep a significant portion, roughly 50% in the US, with varying percentages internationally.
  • The "Multiplier Rule" for Break-Even: While studios don't publicly disclose exact break-even figures, a common rule of thumb is that a movie needs to gross 2 to 2.5 times its production budget at the box office to break even, accounting for both production costs and marketing expenses. Some argue this multiplier can be closer to 3 for big budget films due to higher-than-average marketing and/or a lower percentage of the total box office compared to previous years.
  • Beyond the Box Office: It's important to remember that a movie's break-even point is not solely dependent on theatrical box office performance. Additional revenue streams like home video sales, streaming rights, and licensing deals also contribute significantly to profitability.
In essence, while the production cost multiplied by roughly 1.5 accounts for production and a standard marketing estimate, you need to factor in the box office split and other revenue streams to accurately determine a film's overall break-even point.
It's a complex calculation, often shrouded in studio accounting practices that can make it difficult to determine the true profitability of even a highly successful film.
