Only the first movie was good, just like the howling

>I'll just crop out the budget for no reason haha

>make shitty money grab
>still does 700M

i am impressed

>I think movies have to hit a billion :^)

20 million less budget than the last one

>Worldwide: $708,666,587

Next we double the budget of $230 million to account for marketing

>$460 million

$708 million - $460 million = $240 million

Next we take Depp's percentage of the profits, which we don't know

Then we take into account that only $165,466,587 of that $708 million was domestic and that studios only take about half of foreign gross and we see the movie hasn't really made very much

brand recognition is one hell of a drug

>budget $230M
>most of the money came from China
Uh oh...

Good old foreign markets, always there to save crappy movies that deserved to bomb.

How do we fix the China problem, /tv/?

It fixes itself, studios only get 25% of whatever they make in China and marketing there is expensive. This movie has flopped

>>84537665
It did just as well in China as it did in America. Don't go screeching about China like an autist please.

>>84538379
It's less about defending China and more about ripping Amerisharts a new asshole. They constantly screech about China when they're the real problem.

>>84538246
China also lies about how much box office money movies make. Apparently they don't make as much as they say it does.

guess he should be called Johnny Debt because he's going down

A cheap Blumhouse movie called Stretch cost $4-5 million to produce. Universal decided to just throw strait to DVD because it was going to cost them $20-40 million to market the movie.

Penguins of Madagascar made almost $400 million at the box office on a budget of 132 million but the sutdio took a $57 write-down because the film had such a large marketing budget.

Marketing is not a meme, it’s disgustingly expensive.
