Break-even
- Production budget (ReelMatrix estimate)
- $90.0M–$110M
- Marketing (estimated for a major studio)
- $54.0M–$110M
- Total cost
- $144M–$220M
- Studio's share of each ticket dollar
- 45¢
- Later: home, streaming and TV
- +20¢
- Break-even worldwide
- $222M–$340M
Total cost ÷ 65¢ 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: 48% from the US and Canada, a ReelMatrix estimate (Little Fockers earned 48% in the US and Canada).
Projection
Before release, the projection uses the middle of the forecast domestic total ($100M–$150M).
- Domestic finish
- ~$125M
- Worldwide finish
- ~$260M
Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 48%, until real international numbers come in.
Verdict: On the bubble. How verdicts work
