Box Office Gross: $117.4 Million
Budget: $150 Million
Profit: -$32.6 Million
…. ehmmm …. it doesn’t work that way in the real world.
From Wikipedia: “To determine if a movie made a profit, it is not correct to directly compare the box office gross with the production budget, because the movie theater keeps nearly half of the gross on average. The split varies from movie to movie, and the percentage for the distributor is generally higher in early weeks. Usually the distributor gets a percentage of the revenue after first deducting a “house allowance” or “house nut”. It is also common that the distributor gets either a percentage of the gross revenue, or a higher percentage of the revenue after deducting the nut, whichever is larger.[2][3] The distributor’s share of the box office gross is often referred to as the “distributor rentals”, especially for box office reporting of older films.[4]”
Besides that, Disney’s total costs are the production budget AND the marketing budget. So a movie with a production budget of $200 million and a marketing budget of $100 has to earn $600 million before it starts making a profit from its theatrical release.
