If Dumbo cost $170 million, then it needs to make at least $340 million just to break even IIRC.

In the first two weeks, the box office split between the movie theater and the studios is about 50/50. After that the studio share goes down.

One rule of thumb is that a movie needs to gross its production cost in the first two weeks in order to wind up showing a profit.
