It's different for every movie. But, on average, a movie will start out with 60% going to studios and 40% for theatres for the first week or 2. Then, as the weeks go by the studio portion drops to 50%. Then, to 40%. Possibly lower after a month or more. Still, on average a studio will make 50%-55% of the total box office. I always use 55% in my calculations to give the studios as much of the benefit of doubt as possible. And yes, that is for the US. However, in many countries it's very similar, though I'm sure there are some countries that demand more. So, basically, the lower end is probably more accurate. This movie needs to make $750M to break even. Like I said, I think all the hype for this movie will deliver it a huge opening weekend. But, next week, we are going to see either the standard 50%-60% drop, which is normal for a superhero flick, or something more along the lines of a dismal 65%-70% drop, like we saw with BvS. |
So, you're talking about the US only? The studio will not get more than 40% outside of the US.
