Pop Art Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 Does anyone know how much Elemental needs to gross to cross the profitability threshold? I'm really hoping it can, it so deserves it and I'm pleasantly surprised it's crawled its way so far considering its mild debut.

I'm really hoping it can, it so deserves it and I'm pleasantly surprised it's crawled its way so far considering its mild debut. I want to say at least $450M? It’s only $25M away so I think it could reach it perhaps this weekend. The only issue is that it releases on digital next week I believe which will probably cut its legs off a little.

Elementals will not pay off the marketing with the theatrical rental revenues alone which costed around $100M. However based on Box Office success Pixar and Disney can accurately predict how it will perform in streaming and TV entertainment (sales, ads and pay-for-TV) which bring heaps of money enough to pay off the marketing and turn a small profit. That's why they pump so much money in their movies to begin with. With a $200M budget and $100M marketing, the movie would need to gross around 600M dollars outside of China to break even. That's one a hell of a risk to be depended on Box Office alone. Many Disney movies like Brave, Tangled and Princess and the Frog only started turning a profit when the ancillaries were brought to the table. A small profit in Disney's standards means around 40M-60M dollars, maybe more, maybe less, you get the point.

What’s up with all the product placement movies this year?

Aethereal Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 11 hours ago, bjorn said: Barbie debuted with $0.7M??!! What in the tarnation is this Barbie is struggling to outgross TLM in Korea and TLM was a fatal bomb there. Barbie is not a huge IP in Asia, in China it gained legs after the first Friday because it was well liked by the audience and got rated high. It's opening numbers on Friday in China were mediocre at best. At this point even Oppenheimer might outsell Barbie in Japan if it gets released there. However with Japan or not, Mario wig is 99% likely to be snatched.
fridayteenage Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 assuming barbie gets $600 mil us, adjusted for inflation it would join just 57 movies all-time.
creativity. Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 already A24’s fifth highest grossing film domestically 2
Enrique523 Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 I'm really happy to see horror movies doing so well at the box office 1

The BP nominees are originals except animated Toy Story 3.
Arcadius Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 Barbie is basically locked to surpass Mario at this point, most analysts are saying it'll probably happen the weekend of or after labor day.
Arcadius Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 There's at least 3 or 4 films that will have lost over $100M from this summer alone. That has to be a record.
