Emphasis on "Budget was $200 mil" is killing me

Perspective

Actuals came in LOWER

Horror has become one of Hollywood’s biggest cash cows because of the profit margins. It’s low cost to make with high revenue potential. The lower budgets even play a part in the appeal

Film absolutely banged. Loved it 8.5

Loved it

Damn

Damn..BvS type drop.

Damn

May not be Joever, yet

I’m gonna pick this thread back up in May btw

I think China would be just fine without hollywood tbh but there is a lot of money Hollywood makes in the international markets, particularly China that would put a lot of new added pressures on studios. interesting proposition tho

Hollywood relies more on China for sure. It was kind of like this in 2020/2021 when China was denying the release of a lot of films but didn't put an outright ban on them. Shang Chi was a whole ass MCU movie made for China that didn't get the clear to release over there and still did solid for a pandemic film

But Avatar 3 ain't hitting the highs of the previous 2 without China that's for sure

yup and considering Ne Zha was already close to a billion or at a billion (?) before it even got to US markets like... they don't need our movies at all for real

Reviving the thread just to say Star Wars >

1. SINNERS - $45 million
2. STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH (2025 Re-release) - $25 million
3. THE ACCOUNTANT 2 - $24.5 million
