Break-even

Production budget (ReelMatrix estimate)
$150M–$175M
Marketing (estimated for a major studio)
$90.0M–$175M
Total cost
$240M–$350M
Studio's share of each ticket dollar
44¢
Later: home, streaming and TV
+20¢
Break-even worldwide
$375M–$547M

Total cost ÷ 64¢ 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: 40% from the US and Canada, typical for a major studio.

Projection

Before release, the projection takes the middle of its opening-weekend forecast ($55.0M) times 4.0×: 2.5× (typical for a wide release), raised for a Christmas release.

Domestic finish
~$220M
Worldwide finish
~$550M

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

Verdict: Hit. How verdicts work
