They werent happy even when Spiderman 2 made 700mil worldwide (Cap 2 made the same money). So there's no way they green lit a Ghostbuster movie having need a 500mil breakeven point. |
Did you read the thread at all, because no where does it say break even (in terms of the content of the quote). People need to stop assuming breaking even mean success. ROI is a thing when it comes to any production. People do not want to invest in productions if they are just breaking even or cannot even beat the basic inflation rates (usually 2% a year), because if that were true, they would be better off investing that same amount of money in the government bond market.
This is from a quote from Paul Feig himself, saying “A movie like this has to at least get to like $500 million worldwide, and that’s probably low,”
If it helps, I will put it in the title NOT BREAK EVEN.
