Disney really anxious for Avengers to make all the money John Carter lost.
Surprisingly… ‘John Carter’ is close to breaking even. Home video sales will put it over the top. Won’t make a ‘Hunger Games’ profit, but it won’t be a loss.
Well according to “Hollywood math” Hunger Games will have made no money back and will be sued by all investors as usual.
Studios only keep about half of what a movie earns, the other half goes to the theater owners. So if John Carter cost $250m to make and another $100m to market, it really does have to make about $700m to “break even.” That’s an oversimplification but it’s basically correct. It will make money from home video and tv and cable rights, etc., as well but not a lot.
It’ll be a huge loss you idiot
If you combine Domestic gross and International as well then John Carter has made $234 million so far on a reported budget of $250 million. I believe that’s what Stinky was referring too with the close to breaking even comment. However i don’t believe that includes the huge marketing costs that Disney has put into this movie. That being considered it will be tough for John Carter to ” Break Even”
Disney already said it was a huge loss. They may have gotten back the shooting budget, but how much do you think they spent marketing that thing. Most big movies will spend over 100 million in marketing.
That’s just the budget of the film. You’re not counting marketing, both domestic and international. Disney has already publicly acknowledged the write-down they’re taking on it after all the factors are accounted for.
Hey guys, don’t forget the movie theater keeps anywhere from 40%-60% of the gross movie ticket sales (this is how they make their money). So if John Carter grosses $300m, Disney is only getting around $150m. And the theaters don’t share the marketing costs.
Thus, if Carter cost $250m, $100m for marketing, it’ll end up around a $200m loss. DVD sales will be lucky to do over $50m (not counting the DVD marketing budget). Carter is a massive, massive loss.
Change the way you talk to people., starting now. You want to act like that. Go to slashfilm.
so true. so true.
+1
It’s likely that John Carter has already made money, most studios usually claim production costs (or charge themselves higher than the production needed. Look it up, it’s a weird little loop hole) as higher for tax reasons.
Also, I’m fairly sure that the friggin’ abandoned train station in Albuquerque (The “set” with Joss Whedon and Mark Ruffalo) will be used in every single action movie made in NM. lol. I’ll try to spot it in Lone Ranger.
The Avengers is not a Disney movie because they did not buy the rights. It’s a Paramount picture people.
avengers may not be a disney film but marvel is owned by disney. every dime they make goes to disney. paramount only made a deal for $500 million to be marvel’s film distrubutor. marvel took the $500 million to set up their own film production company so companies like sony, 20th century fox wouldnt be able to buy their film rights anymore.
Oh ok thanks man for clearing that up for me because i did not know that it is good to hear points of view from other people and understand the meaning of it.
What Marvel really needs to do is get Spider-Man back in the fold.
Though it seems Fox may have finally figured out Spidey in the reboot. It would be nice if ole webhead could feature in the Avengers franchise.
It can’t be left to Tony to provide all the snark…
Fox don’t own Spider-Man joe, it’s Sony.
That said, Disney/Marvel really need to try and get those rights back. And the X-Men. The number of people who keep saying to me “why isn’t Spider-Man in the Avengers?” is staggering, but most people aren’t aware of the movie rights issues.
LOS VENGADORES SI ES UNA PELICULA DE dISNEY…LOS DERECHOS NO SON DE PARAMOUNT SINO DE MARVEL STUDIOS Y ESTA PERTENECE A DISNEY…NO HABLES SIN SABER…
WOW Joss Whedons Captain America costume looks better than the one in the film.
THIS WILL MAKE SO MUCH FUCKING DOUGH.
I like this movie The Avengers.
