It's well-known that a movie needs to make at least 2.5 its bugdet to recover the money spent. Of course it's an approximate.

I haven't even heard of that number, but have heard people claiming a different one, I don't know where you get this "well Known" from. In reality, there is no one number, it will vary wildly depending on marketing costs, the countries the money came from, Digital/Blu Ray/DVD, merchendise etc. 

I heard it multiple times on multiple movie podcasts. And of course it varies - don't make me repeat this but 2.5x is an indication.
