The studio's cut of the gross hasn't even covered the production budget yet.Has Alita made its money back? It's almost at $400,000 worldwide...
According to Mr. Bonaventura, the movie is estimated to cost $450 million to make and the investors are not too keen to invest on a high risk project costing nearly half a million to make.
If this becomes a reality, the movie will become the highest budgeted movie in Hollywood, says the producer.
According to industry calculations, the movie should make $ 1.125 billion just to reach the break-even value; an impossible odd considering the trend for the series nowadays. This is just from the production budget alone. Combine that with the marketing budget and the value will skyrocket to an impossible target.
Are they gonna make the Transformers out of pure cocaine or like why would you spend $450M (just typing that out feels insane) on some weirdass spinoff film?Can we talk about how absolutely nuts this interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura is and how these are the most wild numbers I've ever seen?

Imagine a movie based off the dopey looking early-2000s era Canadian show that got the green light based entirely on someone saying the name "Optimus Primal" over their lunch break having the distinction of being the highest budgeted movie in film history.
I can't even fathom what in the movie would warrant such cash.
Second best March Tuesday, behind only Beauty and the Beast ($17.8m).
Disney says WW is up to $524M. One film finance source believes that it's pretty much certain that Captain Marvel will see $1 billion around the world and break the glass ceiling for female-led pics at the global B.O., dashing past Wonder Woman's final global of $821.8M. Domestic will be at $400M. Captain Marvel will pass break even in the theatrical window by the end of the week with $750M worldwide.

1. A Beast Wars film will never happen. It's just not viable.
2. Does Beast Wars even have name recognition anymore outside the Transformers fanbase? (Genuine question--I'm so steeped in the fandom that I don't know).
3. Lorenzo is so full of shit. He literally says whatever he wants, even when it doesn't make sense. There's not a chance in hell the movie would actually cost that much.
4. I wonder when they'll announce which Transformers films actually are coming next? It feels weird to be excited about this franchise again.
There's a difference between buying gaming studios strengthen your future as a dominant gaming force and buying a publisher that has so many redundancies for a company like Sony that it would render the deal a waste of money.I think he's talking about the rumor that Sony is in talks to buy Take Two. Apparently taken out of context, but if Google is serious about entering the game industry then I think Sony will make a big gaming acquisition to protect its future in that core pillar industry for them.

We never got proper 80s (aka REAL) Transformers nostalgia until Bumblebee. Let us old fogies have some of them before we move onto the Beast Wars stuff.wtf why
what's so special about beast wars that would have the budget balloon so high above the other transformers movies? it's the same shit.
I think Beast Wars would actually be huge with all the 90s nostalgia stuff going on right now. Especially if it's good, and it feels like Transformers finally has some momentum after Bumblebee.

Give me a $200mi-budgeted theatrical release with Waspinator in it or give me death.
Enough with the car shit.
Hahaha you're not in finance. Those redundacies are synergies!There's a difference between buying gaming studios strengthen your future as a dominant gaming force and buying a publisher that has so many redundancies for a company like Sony that it would render the deal a waste of money.
I didn't even realize this was in Box Office thread. I thought this was in the Xbox Studios thread. LOL"There's a difference between buying production and independent companies and licenses to strengthen your future as a dominant movie studio force and buying another major studio that has so many redundancies for a company like Disney that it would render the deal a waste of money."
Shit happens. Times are changing. We'll see what Google will show next week, but if they are serious, Sony needs to be very serious about protecting their position in gaming.

That wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life.
Scott Buck stirs.According to him (so I guess take it with a grain of salt) the next movies on the docket are Bumblebee 2, a Prime spinoff, and an animated Cybertron movie.
Please finish the game story. Somebody. Anybody.
eyyy 👏👏Speaking of trailers, second endgame trailer by the end of march ?
That new Avengers Trailer is honestly incredible
I really think Endgame is going to beat IWs opening weekend record
I haven't seen it yet, is it better than the (not so good) first trailer?
8.6 Wedn for CM
Shazam is looking to open between 40-45 million
https://variety.com/2019/film/box-o...ce-opening-weekend-early-tracking-1203162051/
Oof. I know, I know. Low budget. New IP. Not everything can open at $100+.
But I hope it opens higher. Everything about it looks great.
$100m budget reported for Shazam.
I hope it does well. I recently realized that it'll actually be the first DC movie I'll be seeing in theaters since The Dark Knight.
On a different note, how's Wonder Park tracking, Slayven?

Preaching to the choir here, really want a Flash and Green Lantern Corps movie in this toneThat's not bad for its budget, is it?
I guess it depends on legs and overseas, too.
I really want it to do well, and I want more of them. DCEU needs this kind of tone in its lineup.
