It cost $125 million to make. So far it has grossed worldwide
$175 million. If I can count right, that’s $50,000,000 profit. Nice little take for 10 days work.
Don’t rely on the “public” budget. The director has acknowledged there were reshoots, re-edits, and a new marketing campaign. The real budget was 170 million.
This film needs to do $350 million to get into the black. Since a lot of its receipts are coming from overseas, where (in some territories) the studio realizes only a 15% percent return per ticket sold, that’s hard to achieve.
Unless there’s some wild upturn in the film’s returns this coming week (unlikely), Noah goes into the red ink column.
Also, to determine whether a film makes money, you need to double the production budget. Once you make that number in tickets sold, you start to see profit.
