This is 'just' the box office money, there's money later coming in from streaming deals (although in this case, more subscriptions to D+) and physical sales.
Having said that, Disney certainly expected a higher box office gross, they have strong-armed theatres to give them 60% rather than the standard 50% due to their huge output, but if this downward trend continues, theatres will demand negotiation.
The real question to ask is what are all these companies going to do when the recession gets worse? The first thing to go are stupid useless luxuries like movies.
I don't know, but I did hear that studios and theaters collaborated to lower prices so lower classes could afford to watch movies. Don't know if its true, but modern companies? I don't see them doing this.
its not rocket science that 1billion revenue because people thought the movie gonna have huge tie-in to infinity war thats why but chud being moronic and thinking its because disney brought their own tickets
>People think box office money matters for Disney
The movie studios amount to around 10% of Disney's total income and keep serving as idea farms for attractions for the real money, which is the parks. They can even afford opening huge Star Wars shit hotels that nobody visits.
This isn't even a blip to them.
People aren't going to be checking out expensive theme parks in general due to the recession. And even if things were better Disney has new competition from Nintendo. So Disney is not living on easy mode.
Sure, but it will take time, all the stuff we'll see this year and most of next year is stuff that's already been produced or is mid-to-late production.
Top Gun Maverick was made in 2018-2019, imagine how much Cruise had to fight to keep wokeness out of it.
>Top Gun Maverick was made in 2018-2019, imagine how much Cruise had to fight to keep wokeness out of it.
Isn't Cruise himself another Leftist?
Probably but that isn't the same thing as woke.
He is savy enough to understand how toxic wokeness/far leftism has become to audiences. It the only explanation for how severely clear of it TG-M & the modern Mission Impossible films have been. The new MI films have had fantastic female characters that never once diminished or degradingly upstaged males which would happen if the film was woke. Hell Jack Reacher had him publicly trashing a woman for being a bawd which is unheard of for modern films.
>$250m budget
>$700m box office
Broke even?
>production budget, doesn't account for advertising/marketing
>studios don't get the full box office gross
>advertising/marketing is $450+m
Why do they make films if they need it to make a billion just to break even?
The Batgirl film that got canceled was allegedly going to cost "Hundreds of millions" to market. Just to market. There's a reason it's canceled.

Because it's a gamble. Sure you can lose big, but when you win, you win BIG.

Wasn't the golden age of Hollywood during the great depression?
I don't know, but I did hear that studios and theaters collaborated to lower prices so lower classes could afford to watch movies. Don't know if its true, but modern companies? I don't see them doing this.
>The first thing to go are stupid useless luxuries like movies.
Yes and no. People won't stop going to movies, but they will be a LOT more selective.
It's common knowledge that Hollywood schlock needs to earn 2.5 times its budget to make a profit.
You know studios don't get the whole BO, right. The theaters take 50% of the gross in the USA and more overseas.
It been broke even.
n-no, this can't be happening! Cinemaphile told me this was a failure and the beginning of the end
It’s making less than Ragnarok, which is a sign of things to come
Ehhhh it's not to bad when you take into account China and Russia not even releasing it, along with a few others.
It is when the budget is 250 fricking million.
explain to someone who only watched the first thor and the first avengers movie what it's happening
>chuds seething and believing it won't pass 500 million
>t. groomer
Not if Disney bought half the tickets again.
should have done that with Lightyear instead of trying to cancel minions.
>again
what
Conspiracy theory by schizos involving Disney supposedly buying millions of tickets to Captain Marvel to inflate the box office numbers.
>Conspiracy theory
And then it wasn't, as "conspiracy theories" these days tend to go.
Which ones? Did the CIA finally fess up to the Kennedy assassination?

It's more than 10%, but yes the parks and cruises is where they make the most money.
Also the movies are important to provide content to lure in D+ streaming subscriptions.

>Black Widow

>Dr Strange 2

>Thor 4
Heavily underperformed
It's over.
Superheroes have been over for quite a while not....
I'll believe it when stupid normies are tired of the next Batman fights Joker movie.
The success of Maverick might also suggest a cultural shift.
Sure, but it will take time, all the stuff we'll see this year and most of next year is stuff that's already been produced or is mid-to-late production.

To each their own, I don't care about context if I see a female being presented as they have never been? Not watching the trash.
>if I see a female being presented as they have never been?
What???????
This is what happens when you give a coke fiend a movie and give him free reign.
Not enough
RATE THE FILM!!!
