Well 100 million would technically do it, but they only get 55 percent back from ticket sales. Now we are talking juat breaking even with no marketing included. Once you add that in things get more expensive.

 

Depending on the part of the world, its higher than 55%, which is why in the UK, cinema chains often increased ticket prices on big movies so they get a bigger piece of the pie. UK gross to the studio is most likely closer to 70%. 

That 50% myth is ancient news. Its not like that anymore. 

I think it's even lower outside of the US. Spectre with a $250M budget needed $650M to break even.
