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
