This is doing considerably better than WB expected. I'd bet a 4K release wasn't initially planned, and it's changed this week.
I wouldn't have thought so. There's not going to be any legal or licensing issue with them releasing their own film on blu-ray, but not 4K. It'll be a distributor decision on what's produced.Nah there was obviously some licensing or legal thing that just delayed the listing of the 4K editions, there was never any chance of them not releasing this film in 4K from day 1. Whether it's doing better or worse with audiences than projected it's always been one of the biggest films of the year, would have been very weird for it not to have got a 4K release
The film cost over $170 million to make so it needs to make over $670 million at the box office to break even...Yeah not a single 4K disc in sight at the moment, must be a technicality though and they'll be listed later
Anyway this is a Warner film and it's going to make tons of money and the reviews are really good - Manta Lab will have us covered
What math are you using?The film cost over $170 million to make so it needs to make over $670 million at the box office to break even...
170m? Thought it was more like 100m? It's made nearly 500m already though, in less than a week. It'll do perfectly fine. Probably tip over 1bn.The film cost over $170 million to make so it needs to make over $670 million at the box office to break even...
You need add promo and distribution etc.. idk where he's pulled those figures from though.What math are you using?
Yeah, so production budget ($170m, which is questionable itself) times two to cover P&A = $340m and they’ve broken even according to Hollywood accounting. I have no idea this notion of making its budget back 4 times (???!) over before ur profitable….You need add promo and distribution etc.. idk where he's pulled those figures from though.
Apparently Warner spend serious money on advertising. Over and above what you would normally do for a film. If it gets more Barbies sold, then everyone is a happy camper....What math are you using?
I’m sure they did but not half a billion dollars, come on bruv…..Apparently Warner spend serious money on advertising. Over and above what you would normally do for a film. If it gets more Barbies sold, then everyone is a happy camper....
You have to wait at least 3 months to see the returns..... But yes It'll do well. It's not going to be like Dial of Destiny or Little Mermaid where it's going to lose money.... And I can think of one film that has been held back nearly 2 years that is going to bomb big time in the cinema... It's dead on arrival....170m? Thought it was more like 100m? It's made nearly 500m already though, in less than a week. It'll do perfectly fine. Probably tip over 1bn.
For major films they always spend at least the cost of the film on advertising.... Been like that for years. Remember they have to flog the arse out of it in every medium to make sure everyone knows about it.......... Roughly 40% of films fail at the box office. It only becomes a problem if it's your expensive mega films that flop.....I’m sure they did but not half a billion dollars, come on bruv…..
Yes, so if the cost of the film is $170m (which feels like an overestimate already) the break-even number is $340m. Not sure where ur getting $670m from; that’s 4x over……For major films they always spend at least the cost of the film on advertising.... Been like that for years.

Also studios are making less and less expensive films but they seem to be bombing more. Here are the biggest failures of all time at the box office.Warner marketing budget for barbie is estimated to be over $150 million according to Variety
That's more than it cost to make the film itself the production budget was $145 million
The marketing spend has worked but to allocate of revenue on marketing can backfire sometimes
There is also a lot revenue been made from merchandising products
Because cinemas get a big cut in the first month and other areas as well so a film these days has to make serious inroads in profits to even break even as well as bring the problem of countering other films from the same studio which makes loses. So some serious balancing acts going on. I would not want to be an accountant for a major studio...Yes, so if the cost of the film is $170m (which feels like an overestimate already) the break-even number is $340m.
