DoctorVader 08/06/17 12:48:28 PM #19:	Summer movies have taken an overall hit from last year. Tickets cost like $17 in NYC now. There's way better shit to do for the money, especially when movies hit home video in like 2-3 months and then you can buy the shit for $10. This means we demand higher quality, which is good. Only good movies or extremely hyped shit will get the crazy numbers. This is the US though. It seems worldwide movies in theaters are becoming more popular. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

JE19426 08/06/17 4:35:12 PM #35:	There's a couple of things to consider when it comed to determining whether a movie has a bombed or not. 1) The "film budget" only covers the cost of actually making the movie not marketing. Global marketing usually equals the cost of the film budget. A film that has a budget of 150m likely cost the studio about 300m. 2) The money the movies makes includes the that Cinemas make. Cinemasusually get half the money from sales. That means if a movie cost a studio about 300m the movie likely has to gross 600m to make even. Edit: I should point out that that the movie gross usually only includes ticket sales and not money from merchandising or from video/dvd/bluray/streaming. <cite>JE19426 posted [p:884296582] in It appears...
