Break-even

Production budget (ReelMatrix estimate)
$15.0M–$30.0M
Marketing (estimated for a major studio)
$15.0M–$30.0M
Total cost
$30.0M–$60.0M
Studio's share of each ticket dollar
44¢
Later: home, streaming and TV
+20¢
Break-even worldwide
$46.9M–$93.8M

Total cost ÷ 64¢ per box office dollar. That's 3.1–3.1× the budget. The studio's share blends 50¢ domestic, 40¢ international and 25¢ in China, weighted by this film's mix: 40% from the US and Canada, typical for a major studio.

Projection

Before release, the projection uses the middle of the forecast domestic total ($10.0M–$26.0M).

Domestic finish
~$18.0M
Worldwide finish
~$45.0M

Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 40%, until real international numbers come in.
