It doesn't matter - BvS will make a ton of money. Even wondered why WB made a profit of $1.2B last year despite most of their movies not doubling their production and marketing costs at the BO?

Was this the movie division or overall?

BvS was suposed to cover the last 15 months of not so good boxoffice + the investiment in risk movies like Tarzan.

Movie division. The not so good boxoffice still made them almost as much profit as Disney's hits ($1.5B). So, I think BvS will make up for the BO losses from movies such as San Andreas, Mad Max, In the Heart of the Sea, Pan, Jupiter Ascending and Point Break.

It has now passed The Amazing Spider-Man in NA and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and The Winter Soldier worldwide.

Movies have a long tail gross distribution over time. 

 

In the USA Block busters drop 50-60% the first few weeks then 40% then 30% then it's so low it dosent matter. 

 

Aclaimed movies can hold stronger but only few pull an Avatar kind of show. Low burners are mostly animations or well stabilished franchises like James Bond.

 

In China BvS made 40mi after the first week. I cant see that is that catastrofic. Can't it get another 50mi in the next couple of months?

 

Over seas was another 100mi week it might do more than Zootopia even with a 300mi vs 150 mi in China.

 

Batman brand is that strong WW

 It is the USA Boxoffice that should be Warner concern.

 

Youre still not following, thats definetly not how Box Office work. Here read this http://www.forbes.com/sites/robcain/2016/04/06/was-the-400-million-warner-bros-paid-for-batman-v-superman-a-good-investment/#5294a97b7d67. As the article clearly states (and make very obvious via an easy to follow table) BvS is a financial sucess but only a moderate one, wich is definetly not what Warner and DC wanted it to be. Also BvS dropped 69% on its second weak on the USA that is the second bigest drop of a Super Hero picture ever (only Catwoman got it worse), so no that is not normal, thats bad. 

And again, about China the movie is doing worse than Zootopia as in it grossed less in a week, Im not talking about absolute terms, Im talking about BvS week 2 x Zootopia Week 4, Zootopia beat BvS (had a better week). That is the definition of a catastrophic drop , for a movie that big be beaten by a 4 weeks old movie onits second week its realy terrible. Also China has the release of multiple Chinese movies this next couple of weeks and Hollywood movies only stay in screens there for 4 weeks, law forbids the cinemas to keep them screening for longer than that. In other words to make 200M there BvS would have to gross 110M in 2 weeks after having only grossed 90M in its first 2, that is beyond impossible. The movie has seen similar drops in other big markets and there are reports of cinemas reducing the numbers of screening already across the globe. Brazil is basicaly the one place its having a realy massive sucess, the problem is our Box Office only amounts to like 30-40M in the end. It helps but this one market alone isnt gona amount for much in the end.

The article you linked to doesn't take product placement into consideration. In addition to that, it is using some old numbers for Man of Steel. Those numbers are from BO and home video sales only. No product placement, no broadcast syndication, etc.

Even The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which cost $430M and made $709M at the BO made a profit of $70M without product placement.

"It doesn't matter if a movie will make some hundred million less profit as it could". No, obviously not and it's only a public company so who cares, right? Lol

Seriously...

Mad Max lost money? I thought it did well.

Pan and Jupiter Ascending were big bombs though.

Think of it this way - the only 2 movies from WB that covered their production and marketing costs from the boxoffice are Get Hard and The Intern - both comedies.

 

I am using TAS2's records to get the percentage from the different regions - 50% from NA, 25% from China and 40% from the rest of the world.
