So do we officially call Superman a box office bomb?
Some people said it'll make $1b.

It broke even.

Whoever wrote the article doesn't understand Hollywood maths.

The most simplified formula is budget x 2.5

Superman's budget is 225m

225m x 2.5 = 562m

That's the break even point

Chikena
The 2.5 multiplier is used when we don't know the advertising cost.
Cinemas take 50% of movie earnings and a base 0.5 or 50% of a movie's production budget is used as it's advertising costs...that's where the 2.5x multiplier comes in...

Now that the advertising cost and other costs have been revealed, then you can't just apply a base 2.5x multiplier.

You just don't want to admit the sad reality that Superman 2025 was a box office bomb.

Don't worry, it will still make money from streaming to cover it's loses

Those people were delusional.

They also deluded themselves into thinking Superman was a box office success. In reality it wasn't.

It being sold as a success is good for the brand tho..

Damn, just found out I watched 62 films last year.... I always thought it was 67 — I guess it was for the previous year.

I'm now at 59 films so far and I still have three solid months to go. Despite heavily slacking last month.
I'd easily smash my tally in previous years.

I most likely won't hit my lofty target of 100 films a year. But at least I might get very close to it. Hopefully I do at least 25 films more— to round out at 85+ within the year.
Hopefully, I chalk off more off my niche watchlists. 🤞🏽
How do you track your movies?

And James Gunn had to whip up sentiment, making many Latinos, and leftis to go see the movie, if not I'm sure it would've peaked at 450m.

Just like you're deluding yourself that it was a flop.

You don't use advertising cost in the calculation.

Only use the budget.

It's only in rare cases that marketing budget is used and even then, the formula is different.

It's production budget + marketing budget x 1.5

The most widely accepted and simplified calculation is still budget x 2.5

You're forgetting that marketing is a different department. Every movie is marketed, big or small regardless of the production budget.

How come no one calculates marketing for low budget horror movies and other movies below $100m.
Do you think those smaller movies don't get marketing too?

You don't even know the person who produced your favourite movie.

The actors might be retired. But I feel they'd find a way to bring or inspire more stories about them. They can't just retire the highest grossing horror franchise of all time just like that.
They can.. because it's based on true story. And that's the end of the story

E be like you never know era wey we dey and corporate greed. You think anybody fit die or retire permanently? grin grin

WB's box office this year was sweetened by horror flicks this year. You think they'll retire the highest grossing horror franchise of all time in this present box office uncertainty.
Same WB wey flops wan finish last year?

Spambot jumped on it. It was freed later

Someone suggested that every ban should come with feedback

It seems the Spambot blocks dirty pictures

Deservedly..... The greatest comeback of all time!!
This duo already had their heads on the guillotine and just didn't know when the blade was gonna come down.

Great turnaround for them. Giving WB an historic year. First time WB hits $4bn at the global box office with $1.8bn in domestic haul.

WB will eventually end up at 2nd at the domestic BO with Disney overtaking with heavyweight titles releasing this fall; but WB are in very good position (despite no more releases), topping Universal in a very long time. I'm struggling to remember when last they did that.

CBM has peaked and is now in diminishing returns and it was the MCU that ate when it was at its peak.
