Thats not realy how movie business work, investors know the potential something have and expect that something to live up to it. If Iron Man 3 can make 1.3 B what do you think ppl were expecting this movie to do ? Warner was hopping to do at least Age of Ultrons numbers, realistic if the movie was actualy good it could easilly do 2B. Also movies that are profitable have to be profitable enought to cover the movies that aren't, most movies aren't profitable. So when these studios release these hughe movies they expect it to do realy well. Also its still highly uncertain that your statment that it already made a profit holds any water, from what I know 007 SPECTER, wich costed less to make, only started being profitable at the 700 M mark more or less. I also read somewhere that the money made with the deals you talk about is generaly spent in its entirety with marketting for the movie itself. The movie will make a profit thats certain but no amount of damage controll can cover the fact that a Super Hero movie, at the golden age of Super Hero movies, including the 2 most popular super heroes in the planer doing less than Iron Man 3 is a failure. No investor on the planet will be happy with that. |
Iron Man 3 made $1.2B and only 10 movies ever managed that. Not even TDK or TDKR came close. So since you are guessing how much WB wanted to make from this movie, I'll guess $1B.
And golden age of super hero movies? Only 5 superhero movies ever crossed he $1B mark.
My statement about the movie being already profitable makes much more sense that your expectations out of thin air considering that MoS only cost WB $67.5M to product. How much more do you think this one cost?
