To be expected. Its lower than I predicted though and will definitely make less money than Astro Boy in the US. Your looking at $14 - $18 million at most.
| spynx said: With a budget of $20mil it should have broken even the first week considering the fact that 3d animated movies does well and no stellar new titles the weekend. http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Ratchet-and-Clank#tab=summary The rule of thumb in the movie is make at least twice the budget to break even. There are other heavy hits coming this may which is going to be difficult to rake the desired revenue. Hope, Rainmaker studios don't lay off staff who have put in their best. |
Not necessarily. A movie like this (low budget) can break even by just about hitting whatever the budget was. Tax breaks were also probably used (BC)
Plus, the movie's actors were paid peanuts (Sly got around $10k albiet certain other favours being made by Sony to him) and there is abolutely no chance of residuals costing Sony anything. Also Marketing budget, non existant.
