Marketing and theaters cut. Marketing isn't part of the production budget so the amount a studio spends on marketing is an unknown variable. Also, theaters collect roughly half/50% of the box office earnings. Domestically theaters collect 40% of the box office profits. Abroad theaters collect 60% of box office earnings. Meanwhile, China specifically collects 80% of box office profits. So those variables are why films have to collect between 2-2.5x their production budgets.
That's why studios put so much emphasis on how their movies perform opening weekend. If a movie doesn't have a big opening out of the gate, it's judged a flop right away. Theaters make the majority of their own income from concession sales, not tickets. Hence the ridiculously overpriced sodas and candy. Regardless, you're correct that the rule of thumb in Hollywood is that a movie needs to gross about 2.5x its production budget to break even after marketing and distribution. These days, marketing for a big tentpole movie can cost just as much as the production itself did. The problem there is that optical discs are much harder to manufacture than vinyl is and require a clean room facility. There are only a couple replicating plants left that do it anymore. |

You?ve had years to enjoy it . A few of us are happy we are getting violence in our OG franchises and you call it 90?s mentality? Jokes on you bro. Maybe it’s on us since you’re doing it for the sake of opinionated relevance

transformers one looks fun. much more tolerable that whatever that duck movie was a few months ago, or kung fu panda, or trolls, or any of that other shit. also, i love the hell out of good guys and bad guys being friends before the bad guys turn bad.
if im sitting through a kids movie, i may as well enjoy it too. tmnt mutant mayhem was fun and the animation was awesome. i just hope the toys arent hasbro's typical pricing otherwise they done goofed themselves again. |

A movie aimed at the demographic that buys the toys isn't really a slap in the face to the franchise that's all about selling toys....
We're talking about Transformers here. It's not like this is an adaptation of The Road.

So, forgive my ignorance, but are there multiple story lines coming out regarding TF or will ONE tie into the G.I. Joe crossover? Keep seeing this thread but watched the ONE trailer this morning.

Trash is trash. Justification of trash is wasted words
