To break even this movie needs to make about $260M WW, as on average theatres end up taking 45% of the box office. Of course, some companies include advertising in the production budget they give, some don't. I'm pretty sure I read this movie didn't. So, it may need more like $300M-$320M to break even. This movie will make $180M-$220M WW, so it's definitely a flop. This is what happens when you make a generic reboot of a comedy classic, then make it about girl power and insult fans of the original.
It'll be interesting to see how Sony precedes. Will they just drop it? Or will they go ahead with the Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum reboot Amy Pascal turned down for this trash heap?
