Shazam had better daily holds in OW. It went on to a 2.61x domestic and 2.33 worldwide multiplier.
If BoP follows that path it ends domestic with about $86m Dom and 185m ww or so. Rough math.
Why not "Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey"?They actually did it
Birds of Prey Changes Title At Movie Theaters
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is changing its name to [...]comicbook.com
The "& the" is extra space taken up that they clearly don't want taken up anymore.
Well I've seen a lot of numbers so yeah they're not great investments. Rich people who like movies are often your biggest indie investors. They lose a lot of money it's really more normal than you're believing. They often don't come back for more. The film financing consortiums are a bit different and of course the major studios are too. Though most moviesarent particularly profitable henceforth the point of slates and slate financing. One big movie can pay for a bunch others.
I just read this a lot from people that somehow think Hollywood is lying about all their financials and it's just not really true. Certainly not the way you're saying. The margins ain't great and they often come from specific pictures not most movies are profitable. I mean you say the studios are full of shit but have you ever seen their financials?
Looking at this it's easy to see why so many movies have one or two word titles.Just looking at the OP....
lmao
the logic is there, I guess...
Screen Junkies did a good breakdown
So roughly the same M/F split but SS had 2x as many viewers were under the age of 18.
yea looking at that, there's little doubt the R rating is a big obstacle. PG 13 cut? I think it could be done easy enough.
Wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being the name for the home release. Much easier to fit.
Lotta people dunking on "WB execs" for failing this movie when Robbie herself is a producer on it lol. 100% she signed off on both the official title and the new one.
Ask yourself why if that's the case that Hollywood studios are very eager to keep movie budgets going higher and higher. If that many films really were not turning a profit most likely in the last 10 years especially you would have seen studios pushing for lower budget projects ... but they don't really do that.
Keep in mind this is the same accounting services that argued that Return of the Jedi did not make a profit to screw David Prowse out of getting money.
Awww, man. Actuals put Rise of Skywalker above Knives Out. Only about $16k difference between the two.
Next week then.
Next week then.
Sure, but they're still in charge.
If anything, the first two bombs of 2020 have shown the dangers of giving actors too much creative control in big projects.
It will definitely break even, at the very least. And I'm sure the Harley merch being released now and around Halloween will turn a profit for DC. I'm curious to see how it will do when it releases in Japan. I have no idea how popular Harley Quinn-chan is there, but her styling in the new movie seems to be very much up their alley.

OP
Hate it to break it to you, but break even point will be above 250M at the very minimum.
Why ‘Birds of Prey’ Whiffed at the Box Office
"Birds of Prey" has seemingly all the ingredients to become another box office hit for DC. So what happened?

I will remain positive and hopeful :)Hate it to break it to you, but break even point will be above 250M at the very minimum.

There is no chance for it to break even theatrically. No way it gets near 250m worldwide. Movie is a dud eveywhere, Japan will be no different. Not sure why you'd think so? Suicide Squad didn't do anything too notable in Japan. Well below films like Deadpool and Civil War there. Was 26th place for the year with 15 mil.
Are executives at rival studios generally considered a good source for this sort of story? That seems very dicey from a journalistic standpoint.
Going with your Japan hopeful prediction, let's say it defies all odds and somehow matches Suicide Squad in Japan. Something it is nowhere close to doing in the overseas market so far. But let's say Japan defies the rest of the world and BoP matches Suicide Squad there. Suicide Squad did 15 mil in Japan, it wasn't a big hit there and was 26th overall for the year. 15 mil in a foreign market wouldn't make much of a dent in this film achieving profitability at the box office.
Probably not, though she'll probably have less pull behind the scenes in the future.
Sucks about BoP... but I'm part of the problem. I enjoyed SS (trash that it was) but this one didn't draw me to see it in the theater. I'll 100% catch it streaming though.
The only time I see merch and blu ray sales brought up in box office discussions are when a movie flops or underperforms.
Never seen anyone suddenly care about that stuff for movies that do well.
Didn't people bring up disappointing SW merch sales in 2017 to try and prove The Last Jedi was a bomb?
IIRC that argument fell flat after people pointed out TFA's merch sales weren't that hot either.
At one point 2 years ago there were more announced and released DCEU movies than MCU ones.
Wouldn't that be terrible if Mulan ended up being the best movie of the Disney demakes, but did the worst business, and because of that, Disney learns all the wrong lessons? Man, that would suck. Although I guess they've already chewed through most of their renaissance output, so maybe the damage would be minimal.
It's really mediocre. It has moments, yes, but overall the story and character building are bad. The ending is just really awful.
Box Office: ‘Knives Out’ Carves Out $300 Million Worldwide
Rian Johnson's murder mystery "Knives Out" crossed the $300 million mark worldwide.

Ruin Johnson strikes again!

No, Warner Bros Did Not Change the Title of 'Birds of Prey' - But Theater Chains Did - TheWrap
Theater chains Regal Cinemas, Cinemark and AMC Theaters updated their websites with "Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey" for search engine purposeswww.thewrap.com
So it wasn't a move by WB, it was one by the ticket sellers. That's even weirder.
