Break-even
- Production budget (ReelMatrix estimate)
- $12.0M–$25.0M
- Marketing (estimated for a limited release)
- $2.4M–$12.5M
- Total cost
- $14.4M–$37.5M
- Studio's share of each ticket dollar
- 45¢
- Later: home, streaming and TV
- +20¢
- Break-even worldwide
- $22.2M–$57.7M
Total cost ÷ 65¢ per box office dollar. That's 1.8–2.3× the budget. The studio's share blends 50¢ domestic, 40¢ international and 25¢ in China, weighted by this film's mix: 50% from the US and Canada, typical for a specialty distributor.
Projection
Before release, the projection uses the middle of the forecast domestic total ($1.0M–$5.0M).
- Domestic finish
- ~$3.0M
- Worldwide finish
- ~$6.0M
Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 50%, until real international numbers come in.
Verdict: Bomb. How verdicts work
