Break-even worldwide
$379M–$569M

Total cost ÷ 63¢ per box office dollar. That's 2.5–3.2× the budget. The studio's share blends 50¢ domestic, 40¢ international and 25¢ in China, weighted by this film's mix: 33% from the US and Canada, a ReelMatrix estimate (Disney Animation's Encanto and Wish earned 25–38% in the US and Canada).

Projection

Before release, the projection uses the middle of the forecast domestic total ($90.0M–$100M).

Domestic finish
~$95.0M
Worldwide finish
~$288M

Worldwide finish = domestic finish ÷ 33%, until real international numbers come in.

Verdict: Flop. How verdicts work
