Does the fact that it was originally meant to go straight to streaming mean that its box office returns are a bonus?
It made around 130M WW, that it wouldn’t have done, had it not of had a theatrical release.
shareNo because they still have to cover the marketing for theaters costs.
shareMy point is that it was originally intended to go straight to streaming, so the fact it ended up having a general release is a bonus, right?
shareNot if going to general release incurs extra costs.
shareI’m no expert here - would having a general release have a negative impact on the net profitability of this film? It’s not like it made absolutely zero at the box office.
shareWe dont know. Does the box office made more than they spent on the film going to the box office? Thats data they will never give us. Because then people would realize that movies dont actually costs twice the "official" budget.
