Eh even if it's not the most profitable movie, it's box office success is still incredible. A Rated R movie NOT being released in mainland China that's most likely going to reach $1 billion. Amazing.

Endgame made $2.8 billion on a $350 million budget for a profit of $2.45 billion. That's 2.5 times the profit of Joker. Most profitable my ass
No one denies its a massive box office success. What is silly is having a thread for something that isn't true.
so the contention is the usage of the word profit? we all know what is being discussed if you read the article. i find it hard to believe this is just a case of having to educate folks on the word profit.
Ah but maybe the absurd moral panic prevented it somehow or something.
ROI and Profit margin are both ways of determining profitability.
I suggest you look up the term profit margin.
Profitability and profitable do relate to ROI.
Yeah especially from who it's coming from. I think Mendelson is even banned on r/boxoffice
The entire article is based off a false premise. Mendleson is a well known clickbait farm that is mocked in the box office threads here for a reason.
You clearly aren't reading the article.
The amount of money it cost to make endgame very likely means it was not as profitable. Profit= revenue-cost. Endgame mad a ton of revenue but it also cost a fuck ton to make. Whereas Joker was incredibly cheap and is selling like a major marvel movie.
Yes it is?
Profitability can be determined by ROI or Profit margin. They have their pros and cons.
By the metric of revenue-cost there are a ton of movies ahead of Joker, not just Endgame.
Also Endgame didn't cost a BILLION dollars to make. So yes, Endgame is undoubtedly more profitable.
it's really weird isn't it? that the word profit does this to people.
OP
OP
If the debate around profit is gonna be the main focus of the thread I'll just have a mod close it.
Movie fanboy clickbait farms don't count. There is a reason the trades like Variety, Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline aren't reporting it.
Because it isn't true.
I'd hate to have a discussion on the most profitable film be derailed by a discussion of profit.
You posted the claim.
People are discussing the claim.
Did you only want
"Yessssss" replies?
It's an annoying technicality but the writer knew what he was doing lol.
No this is not accurate. Profit is determined by profit. ROI is a different financial metric.
