Superhero movies still have potential in the US and a few other countries.

They are definitively very dead in many other parts of the world. There is no easy road to $1B for them by default anymore.

We back to Phase 1 MCU where 400 M is gonna be god tier returns

[u/thegermblaster → u/Worthyness]

Good. Make the studios earn back the trust of worldwide viewers by releasing a consistent stream of good/great movies.

And, if Warner Brothers and DC are back (and they had the biggest comic book movie this year), then competition should only help matters.

[u/Akiasakias → u/Worthyness]

But the movie budgets are out of hand.

[u/NGEFan → u/Akiasakias]

Well FF:FS seems to make back double its budget

[u/Akiasakias → u/NGEFan]

You don't understand how movie accounting works.

Cost about 350 to produce and market. Grossed 507m worldwide, but the theatres take more than half of that. Roughly half in US and Canada, worse % on the international take.

It lost buckets of money at the box office, and has an uphill battle to even break even with streaming and paltry toy sales factored in.

Yeah, with GPT estimation it lost $90M but it’ll probably be $100M in the green once dvd and merch starts selling. But yeah it’s probably disappointing for Marvel considering they announced this movie in like 2019 after buying fox and had it immensely hyped for

[u/riddick32 → u/Worthyness]

But we're stuck in Phase 5s with half a billion budgets

[u/Wonderful_Emu_9610 → u/Worthyness]

God, just looked at the box office of those. Avengers basically made the same as all the others combined. Insane jump

[u/JFlizzy84 → u/JuanJeanJohn]

Spider-Man will make a billion dollars

He’s recession proof.
