Break-even
- Production budget (ReelMatrix estimate)
- $20.0M–$30.0M
- Marketing (estimated for an independent distributor)
- $12.0M–$30.0M
- Total cost
- $32.0M–$60.0M
- Studio's share of each ticket dollar
- 45¢
- Later: home, streaming and TV
- +20¢
- Break-even worldwide
- $49.6M–$93.0M
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: 45% from the US and Canada, a ReelMatrix estimate (Godzilla Minus One earned 49% in the US and Canada).
Projection
Before release, the projection uses the middle of the forecast domestic total ($53.0M–$94.0M).
- Domestic finish
- ~$73.5M
- Worldwide finish
- ~$163M
Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 45%, until real international numbers come in.
