Why is break-even 2.5 times the budget?
Advertising is usually equal to or more than the actual film budget.
not only that, they only get a portion of the box office anyways, %50 if i remember correctly, so break even is usually going to be more than double the film cost to include the theaters' share.
Like u/ovitz said. Recovering your manufacturing costs is just one part. You have marketing, legal, accounting, rainbow land whales sex changes, etc to pay for as well.
And flying employees out of state for abortions. Shit adds up.
Put a chick in it and make it gay. Doesn't work
They obviously needed MORE chick and MORE gay
Oh that's it. Ya more gay chicks lol
No, they need more trannies! Yeah, that'll boost those profit numbers up for sure!
Cut off more dicks. That's the ticket.
Sounds like the company overhead rate.
you spelled money laundering wrong
There are many costs to consider for the movie beyond the production costs.
Based on statistics and data, a safe rule of thumb is four times the budget for the movie to break even.
Take the production costs (the "budget") and double it to account for all marketing, legal, and other costs outside the main production costs. Then you double it again to account for the fact that movie theaters typically take a 50% cut of all box office ticket sales. 2×2=4
2.5 times the budget is a more generous, but less safe, number to use.
Disney admitted foray into politics, culture wars hurt its bottom line in SEC filing: Jonathan Turley 'Disney’s products are now viewed by many conservatives as empty virtue signaling,' Turley wrote

These people aren’t stupid. Insane maybe, puppets definitely….but why stay on the path of self-destruction unless their overlords that own them want to amputate one of their own limbs?
I'll give you three guesses:
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is among one of State Street's largest ETFs with approximately $279 billion in AUM. Disney comprises 0.81% of SPY's holdings. 15

Why is Guardians green? A literal pedo produces those films...
Did some brief research into this:
Pedo director aside, apparently, the movie is actually a solid, good-quality movie that is competently written, is produced well, and have a sound marketing plan that, as far as I know, haven't gone out of its way to antagonise the fan base with woke BS. This translates into good word-of-mouth feedback that translates into great box-office returns. Definitely the last hurrah for the MCU.
That is why we should get into the arts (including cinema) and not surrender it to the Global-Pedo. Even if this current generation and the next will resist the cultural forces, the future generations might now, and we will fail our future frens if we don't fight fight back on the cultural front.
Steven Spielberg is a pedo piece of crap. That does not mean he does not know how to make a good movie.
Agreed.
Which is the reason why we need to attack this Global-Pedo problem on the cultural front by producing art works too. That includes movies.
Angel Studios and Daily Wire is leading the charge on the Movie and Television front, but we need more studios and companies, preferably created by us, reinforcing their charge.
The US government isn’t in the green!
What are you saying?
Controlled demolition. Better get out of the way of the crumbling skyscrapers.
Could this be a controlled demolition of Disney on the part of the White Hats? And they are only using shitty movies and their box office returns as a cover up?
ROOKIE NUMBERS!! Keep going, Anons! Heck, coming here to see what Purkiss and Ashland Dog have to say is more entertaining anyhow.
We are the entertainment now.
I don't watch much video or movies. I sit and watch my chickens a lot. They are a goofy lot.
Lol you're very right! We put a red light into the coop to warm them up a bit (getting below freezing at night for longer now) and about half had no idea what to do- it's light, let's go back outside... wait it's dark let's go back in... it's light! Anyway we need a different system lol
Ha, I can just see them doing that!
Lol, we need to get some chickens, though our dogs may stress them out. Our neighbor recently got some and it's driving our dog crazy chasing them back and forth along the fence. The other day, I saw them towards the front area of their backyard, and I thought... good y'all just stay over there for a bit while the dog was outside. No sooner than I thought that and turned away from the fence to walk away, the little stinkers came running to the fence where the dog was 🤦♀️ It's like the darn things wanted to come tease the dog.
Chickens seem to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Was GoG v3 not woke or only a little woke? Or did that one do well based on name alone? I haven't watched a DIsney movie in years, maybe even a decade.
it actually wasn't bad. looks like disney is being boycotted.

Was it good as the first two movies? Definitely not, but it is definitely the best MCU offering in recent times, so it have that going for them.
Nowadays, the MCU and Disney brand is so damaged that it needs rehabilitation if any of their actual good movies want to have a chance at being successful at the box office.
“Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1” sold more than 1.75 million copies
Awesome Mix Vol. 2 was the United States' eighth best-selling album of 2017 with 600,000 copies
I cannot find the number of sales of Awesome Mix Vol 3; largely because it was largely tolerable, at best. There is a reason why people by the soundtrack to a movie. The numbers speak for themselves
Directed by James Gunn, a disgusting pervert... https://apnews.com/article/media-social-media-james-gunn-f480137d6cf6a3e1b89ae437a1e89ae3
Guardians 1@2 were truly remarkably fun movies. Great action, amazing music from the Golden Age of Rock'n Roll, funny humor, and really good character development. These were good stories, told in an intelligent manner, that made sense. People were entertained, they could relate to the characters, and enjoyed a movie (which is something truly rare in modern movies).
Guardians 3 was garbage. it was boring, and even the music was awful, with a span of 30 years of Rock and Roll, the Director could not pick 3 songs that could sell a movie sound track (hint: GotG Sound Tracks 1 and 2 sold VERY WELL). GotG 3 wasn't cute, it wasn't funny, it didn't make a lot of sense, it felt artifical, forced and just another shake of the money tree - and it failed.
People went to it, for the simple reason that they held out hope that what was such fantastic fun, with GotG 1 and 2, would happen a 3rd time. It was bitter disappontment.
Disagree - it was one of the few movies that the second sequel held up, IMO. There were definitely some woke talking points, but as far as entertainment has been going it was understated.
And that's fine, we are all entitled to our opinions. However, I do have to snicker a bit every time I hear Glen Cambell's "Southern Nights". Having read a few of the GotG comics when I was much younger, I didn't expect much from the movies. I was pleasantly surprised by the first 2.
The third was a disappointment.
Why hasn't the board of directors removed Disney management ?
Faggotry doesn't pay.
It's encouraging but I'd like to see the point where they stop making them because they can't afford to.
"We will make everything woke"
"How will that sell more Disney movies?"
"Sell more Disney movies??"
It's gotta be higher than that. Isn't there some fuckery with Comcast and how they owe them 500 Mil or close to a Billion too? Also need to take in the almost Billion they've lost on Disney+.
Disney better get on the ball or risk losing their tax exemptions when the IRS declares them Hobby Entertainers.
Woke shitty! 👏🏼😆
I wonder how the state tax credits factor into this.
Get woke, go broke.
Love to see it.
Guardians of the Galaxy 4, 5, and 6 coming in 2024 by the looks of it. but this time they will "Put a chick in it and make her gay!" - Cartman
