Damn $270 mil budget and only $148 mil returned. Yikes...

The first 2-3 weeks in box offices are like the vast majority of cash a movie makes.
It probably wont go past 250m at this rate, before its put on say Disney Plus.

I heard people say that movies typically need to make back 2.5x their budget to break even.
Because something like 49% of the profits are kept by the movie theater, and there is typically marketing costs ontop ect.
In that case its probably going to need to make like 675-700m to break even.

Disney might going to lose like $250m on this movie, when its all said and done (before its taken from movie theaters).

I love the classic animated Disney movies, and I feel like a huge part of the charm is precisely that they're animated.

I still think a 3D remake of the animated films (in the like of Frozen and Tangled) with the original story/design intact would have been more successful than the slop of grime, grey, dark and soulless creations we got in the live action remakes.
