| thismeintiel said: 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. |
I think the damage to the franchise is done (Again I meant this more of success, but since I cannot avoid the talk about breaking even). Based on a couple of articles and what people are saying break even after Rentals, Marketing Budget, and other costs is between 300-350 million (No one truthfully knows the break even point, or has a break down), it will fall short of that as well.
You could very much get Sony Reboot to Reboot issues ala Amazing Spiderman, so I imagine they will shelve it for a bit, given their are more of a healthy company overall recently, so they might take that risk.
