First of all, I used the word "maximum" for a reason. That's the highest they can or should ever reach. In other words, most of the films will be beneath that.

Secondly, the profit we are talking about here is gross profit, which is revenue minus cost. And not net profit, which we all know is revenue minus expenditures.

Thirdly, your analysis is inaccurate because your BEP estimate of The Batman and The Little Mermaid are inaccurate.
Batman had a BEP of $550M to $600M, while The Little Mermaid has a BEP of $560M.
So you see, your BEP estimate isn't accurate.

Of course, BEP is production cost + marketing cost. And when we talk of marketing, we are talking of promotion cost and miscellaneous cost.

Truth is, Studios do not truly reveal the real marketing cost (promotion + miscellaneous cost). This is why the BEP of most films aren't known thus making industry analysts to go with the 3x multiplier to determine film's BEPs.

To know the actual marketing cost of a film, deduct its production cost from its stated or published BEP. For e.g
The Batman's actual marketing cost is $550M to $600M minus $200M which gives us $350M to $400M.
The Little Mermaid actual marketing cost is $560M minus $250M which gives us $310M.

NOTE: Marketing cost here means promotion cost + miscellaneous cost.

There are lots of behind the scene cost the studio does not inform the public about, hence the reason for the high BEPs.

So when I said maximum production budget of $200M for DCU films, I meant the maximum amount that should be spent on production, tax and miscellaneous shouldn't exceed $200M.

And when I said maximum marketing budget of $200M for DCU films, I meant the maximum amount that should be spent for promotion and miscellaneous shouldn't exceed $200M.

With this, you get an ACTUAL maximum BEP of $400M, but this won't be so if WBD/DC have miscellaneous cost, both in production and marketing, that they keep off the public knowledge. With this the ACTUAL BEPs of the films are bound to exceed $400M.

I hope you get what I meant.

Aquaman 2 is in the DCU, but I hope the changes are for the better...

Xavier5:
Then he has to learn to avoid making controversial statements, that's a learnable behavior. His hype and promotion is highly needed due to his key DC position and high social media platform.
If he cares about the franchise and his job, he will have to learn how to promote the film, and other DCU movies and series without making controversial statements. He has no option here. As a matter of fact, Zaslav should make him do it.



1.) Did you take note of the words, "production budget: maximum $200M," "marketing budget: maximum $200M," and "maximum BEP: $400M?"

Should I explain what "maximum" means also?

2.) Superman: Legacy is a blockbuster, so it has to be well/ properly budgeted, but its marketing and production budget shouldn't exceed $200M respectively. With this, going with the profitability standard/ formula, its BEP won't exceed $400M unlike films like The Batman, The Little Mermaid, Justice League etc

OhBritannia:
Thanks Very much for this information.
I don't think civilians can purchase or get such guns, both the one in extraction 2 and the one John wick used.
They must be made for special military squads but i might be wrong though.

I heard Nanami was not in the manga for Jujutsu Kaisen movie 0
But they added him in the movie and gave him epic scenes for fanservice

But na this racially motivated fight of Gojo and Miguel I still like pass

OhBritannia:
Extraction part 2 is a solid 8.5/10 for me.
Now this is an absolute thrilling masterpiece.
They gave us nonstop action from the starting to the ending.
Every scene was top notch, from the gun dwells to the fight scene especially the prison fight scene in the prison Yard. That scene was 100% GOATED.
Extraction 2 is the first and only movie i have watched repeatedly this year.

Christ is one of the best actors in Hollywood, he brings his A game to all his scenes.
And guys!!!! That gun Chris shot at the last scene where the bullets sets anything or anyone it touches fire explosion.

Do we have such guns in reality?

andrew444:
Culers if this is true should we accept ?

I'm never doubting the power of Family again.

See, if this hits a billion, I'm done being a humble F&F stan. I'll just be putting anybody who whines about this franchise on blast.

Omo, clear road for Toretto

SOZINN:
Can't believe these people took this nonsense to china. Lol 😂 No action in presales. Let's see how much "woke power" can wheel in for the little garbage 😂
Keep tracking

pu7pl3:

Kaycee7:
Air and John Wick 4 are still coming this month. Omo, where man wan see time watch all of these?

I remember a few weeks back when we had the discourse here about the impact of AI on Hollywood and some people were of the opinion that the impact will be minimal but here we are today.

The Writers Guild current striking demands include the total exclusion of AI from movie process but the studios seems not to be having it. For context"Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness" was rewritten 33 times before they found the script that the studio liked, thereby delaying filming, Insider sources are saying these studios feel, the movie process could move quite faster with use of AI.

MCU is set to be the biggest victim of this strike as most of thier project from late 2024 to 2026 are still at the writing stage hence expected delay and possible shift on their scheduled release dates.

To put things in perspective, the WGA strike of 07/08 had quite an impact on scripted television. Shows with scheduled 22 episodes were cut to 10 or even 6 episodes, so if this current strike lingers on, there might be delay in new episodes on shows currently airing or the seasons are cut short early.

phr0nesis:
Oh I had no idea they were made by WB. I think they made Legend of the guardians: ... Ga'hoole too but I'm not sure they have made any animations recently

phr0nesis:
Has WB ever done any animation apart from DC-related animations?

Ishilove:
Thanks. I meant her character, though

Ishilove:
We don't mind the run time. At all

Ishilove:
Who is the female?

andrewbaba44:
Frank kessie is a baller who just needed time ,we all saw his importance to millan scudetto win last season

Not every new signing will settle easily like kounde lewandowski and Christensen

Kessie has been impressive for the past 2 games

Kaycee7:
The amount of blockbusters we're getting this year is insane. May very well be the year cinema returns.
