Break-even
- Production budget (unconfirmed)
- $400M
- Marketing (estimated for a major studio)
- $240M–$400M
- Total cost
- $640M–$800M
- Studio's share of each ticket dollar
- 44¢
- Later: home, streaming and TV
- +20¢
- Break-even worldwide
- $1.00B–$1.25B
Total cost ÷ 64¢ per box office dollar. That's 2.5–3.1× the budget. The studio's share blends 50¢ domestic, 40¢ international and 25¢ in China, weighted by this film's mix: 38% from the US and Canada, a ReelMatrix estimate (Endgame earned 31% in the US and Canada, No Way Home 42%).
Projection
Before release, the projection takes the middle of its opening-weekend forecast ($285M) times 3.3×: 2.5× (typical for a wide release), raised for a Christmas release, by half the usual amount because huge openings burn through demand faster.
- Domestic finish
- ~$926M
- Worldwide finish
- ~$2.44B
Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 38%, until real international numbers come in.
Verdict: Hit. How verdicts work
