edge was a tragedy , rim did okay , but edge was sooo good and fun shame about its box office

Edge broke even plus some worldwide and passed 100 million at domestic. Movies do not need to make money domestically anymore when the world is eating up America like crazy these days. Pacific Rim did even better. 101 million here, but 402 WW. Studios get about 55-60 percent back from ticket revenue, plus any other money they make off internet and merchandising.  So 300 million alone should have easily made Edge break even. Now it is harder to make money off overseas, but it made well over 300 million so that should not be a problem.

 

I loved both, but Edge over Rim.

marketing costs never included , and also uneven cuts of the gross though
