The $84m production cost of BoP doesn't tell the whole story.
People tend to forget that for every dollar spent on movie production, another will be spent on marketing, distribution and advertising.
WB may have spent $84m on production, but you can rest assured that it spent more on advertising, marketing and distribution (which these days can cost north of $100m), thus the sum total of money spent on the movie as a whole should be somewhere upwards of $300m.
To answer your question, in other to break even, a movie has to recoup all the money spent on production, marketing, advertising and distribution.
Furthermore, to make a profit, a movie has to make a MINIMUM of twice the sum total of it's budget (production+marketing+advertising+distribution).
Basically, BoP MUST gross at least $350m to be considered successful. If it can't do that, it's a dumpster fire box office bomb.
Thanks a lot !!!! I was smelling something fishy when I found out that Joker merely made 300 million dollars as profit despite the fact that it grossed over a billion dollars. |

That's not how it works. Here's what you should know. Break even point, a point where income equals expenditure.
Production budget for birds of prey was 84million. Note, this doesn't include marketing cost. Most times, marketing cost is half of production cost. Then for some very few movies, marketing cost goes far beyond half of the production cost. But bare in mind that marketing cost isn't part of the production cost & most times, it's half of the production cost.
Total Budget(production + marketing): $126(84+42) million. Theaters & cinemas have a cut for every individual ticket sold. Note, we have 3 regions which makes up the total gross for the box office revenue. For Assumption sake, here's the maths Domestic Gross: Bear in mind that studio keeps about 50% of the price of the individual tickets sold, while cinema keeps the other half.
International Gross: Studio keeps about 40% of the price of the ticket sold, while cinema keeps 60%
China Gross: Studio keep 25%, while the cinema keep a whopping 75% of individual ticket sale. So for a movie to break even, it has to make double of it's production cost. That 82million dollars in revenue you see far for birds of prey, isn't the actual revenue, because the 3 aforementioned regions haven't collected theirs. When they are done collecting theirs, if what is left isn't up to 126 million dollar, then you're making a loss. So to break even, you should make twice your total budget, which should be between 250-300million. From what you posted , I doubt if birds of prey will even make even. 1 Like |

You look like a Ryan Murphy buff looking at your choice of both the series you asked me about. He created both ACS and AHS.

Season 1 delved into the greatest Hollywood feud of all time. The fight for supremacy between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. God almighty.... this two women hated each other to the core and they didn't hide it either on or off set but they had to work together to save their dying careers making life hell for the director. If you did watch the last movie they both made "what ever happened to baby Jane", the kick Bette gave Joan was real and they had to shoot that scene many times as Bette claimed she wasn't really feeling the scene using a body bag, imagine being kicked and dragged around almost 12 times. I thought Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon were feuding in real life, awesome performances from both of them. I think Susan also won the globe for her performance
Season 2 will focus on the feud between prince Charles and princess Diana post divorce till her death Nawao I like this Ryan Murphy's style . I just checked feud on rotten tomatoes and it looks like a must watch. 1 Like |
