There's a lot of bullshit floating around about this movie, and people don't seem, to understand how the industry works.

Total budget = movie budget + marketing budget

Studios typically get 40% of ticket sales (the rest goes to the theaters).

Superman (2025)'s total budget was $400M.

So how much money will Warner have to make in ticket sales before they get that money back?

400,000,000 / 0.4 = 1,000,000,000

As of now it's projected to end up in the $500M - $600M range.

In a month or two when this movie stops playing in theaters, that's when you'll be hearing about this. Zaslav is not happy.

who do they pay for marketing? THEMSELVES. They make money hand over fist at all ends, and work the numbers to paint the tax picture than makes them even more money. You are dumb and Indian.

Considering MoS made $930M after inflation it makes sense that WB expected ten figures.

They pay themselves when trailers are aired on television, youtube, twitch, etc? Retard

>>212777288
>who do they pay for marketing?
no

they pay the city, network television, youtube etc to advertise their movie

>>212777338
yes, shithead. Those are subdvisions of their own corporations. They pay themselves to fudge the numbers

>>212777288
They pay themselves to construct Superman 2025 bus-stops? Also, capitalising the i in indian showed your true colours. BYE BYE

>>212777336
This is what I was thinking as well. They had to put the bar above MoS, and probably even Aquaman.

>>212777384
no

Disney owns Amazon? Owns Alphabet? Owns local companies around the world such as Nine Entertainment? Fucking retard

You're indian, saar

Plenty of movies have been profitable, but Superman had a huge marketing campaign.

One of the things that has been hurting movie profitability is the move from physical media to digital and the move from purchasing media to streaming. Movies used to be able to make up for theatre shortcomings in home video sales, so you could break even or sometimes even miss breaking even and recover on the backend from people who enjoyed your movie enough to buy a copy.
