The Marvels , you know that new superhero movie

[Lemmy]

As a rule of thumb, a movie has to make at least 3 to 4 times its production cost just to break even.

And let's not forget studios have a habit of understating their costs (e.g.: they often don't include reshoots when declaring production costs). I don't recall right now if it was The Marvels or some other big Disney movie that was revealed to have cost over 70 million more than initially stated.

Besides, even if you "make bank", if the margins are minimal... That isn't good.

No one spends 250 million dollars just to have a 10 to 20 million profit. That's not sustainable for companies as large as Disney or Warner.
