This according to Wikipedia.
Little Mermaid. Budget of 240.2 million, box office of 569.6 million.
Indiana Jones DoD. Budget of 295-387m. Box office 384 miilion.
Haunted Mansion. 150m. Box office 117.5 million.
Ant Man. Budget "326.6 million (gross) 276 million (net). Box office 476.1 million.
The Marvels. Budget 219.8m to 274.8m. Box office 206.1 million.
Wish. Budget 175-200m. Box office 254.9m
What a beautfiul sight to see. Little Mermaid was the most succesful of all of these films.
Don't forget: studios spend (as a rule of thumb) another 100% of the budget on marketing, and theaters keep about half of the gross. So a $200M movie like Wish needs to make (not gross) about $400M to break even. And if the box office was $255M, that's just $127.5M that Disney actually made, for a total loss of (400 - 127.5) a whopping $272.5 million dollars. It's beautiful to see indeed.
Yeah, absolutely. I should have been more explicit in my dancing on the corpse of the mouse.
I would guess The Little Mermaid truly made money for Disney (and probably more so with Disney+ action), but everything else is an outright loss or at best break even.
Even TLM needed to make about (240 * 2) $480M. With the theaters keeping half of the box office, a gross of $570M means that Disney took home just $285M, for a total loss of (480 - 285) $195 million lmao
