ok there are 2 major things wrong with this post
#1-"and let's say they blew $50,000,000 on marketing"
Marketing was between 100 to 150 Million, this is a fact and cant be argued
#2-"This might make around another $200,000,000 when it's all said and done.", NOT Possible, JL will top out at 650 Million....
JL Has at best another 30 to 35 Million left to make Domestically and Maybe 50 to 60 Left to make Overseas
Jl made 16.6 Million this weekend domestically....So far JL is averaging a 60% drop, that will continue or get worse...Next week JL Will make between 6.5 and 8.5 Million Domestically...Then the week after that its 3 to 5 Million, JL its basically ending its run domestically, 30 to 35 Million TOPS for the rest of its run
JL made 36 Million Overseas last weekend...JLs first weekend it made 185M, Then 71 M and Now 35, So that means next weekend JL will make 16 to 18 Million Overseas, Then 7 to 9 Million , then 3 to 4 Million, JL has at best 50 to 60 million left to make overseas
conclusion, It is A 100% certainty JL ONLY has about 70 to 100 Million left to make(Maybe Even less)....200 Million, Is Literally an impossibility
JL's final gross Will finish Around 650 Million, Which 100% means JL Will lose Money on its Theatrical box office run
With a Budget of 300 Million and Marketing between 100 to 150 Million, JL needs to make 700 to 750 to Break even
WB will lose between 50 to 100 Million from JL box office results
but the one positive is, WB May eventually Break even or at least Soften the Loses in The years to come from JLs Blu ray Sales and TV Revenue
I doubt if WB will make another 100 Million from Blu Ray sales and TV revenue, But they will certainly make something in the years to come from these other Revenue, Which could very well Soften JLs from 100 million to around 20 or 30 Million
Bottom line, your post is disastrously wrong
sometime in February or March, reports will come out for WBs December quarterlies and WB Will report a Loss on JL

I've followed box office for 15 years now....I can look at any movie since 2001 and Instantly remember how much it made Domestically and overall
I have no clue why I started but I remember back in 2001 when I was 15 and had "Netzero" Free dial up internet, stumbling across "Yahoo Movies" and then Box office Mojo, and just immediately became hooked on seeing what new movies made each weekend....
Over the years i've read HUNDREDS of articles detailing how box office works and over the last 15 years Dozens of Big blockbusters have flopped and almost always articles come out detail how much the Studios lost on the movies, and In the articles they explain exactly where The Box office went, How much the Studio gets and So....
There not ALL Identical...Some Studios gets better deals, But for The Majority of Movies, the box office split and revenue is the same principal ...
JL is going to be this years biggest Disappointment, there already been many articles detailing what the movie needs to make and where the box office goes...
but because of how BIG JL is...well get the final confirmation in a few mouth when WB releases its Quarterliesfor 2017, WB will report on a loss on JL, Probably between 50 to 100 million....and because JL is such a huge movie, THe Media will immediately pick up on and report it...theres a Ton of movies that get Reported as losses every year but they just dont get reported by big sites....When WB reports its quarterlies, every major website will zero jn on JL and how much it lost
