The movie had a budget of 30 million, and you can tack on another 2-3 million for marketing and ancillary expenses.
Based upon Hollywood financial info they’ll have to clear about 65-70 million box office to break even.

Not a good year for Paramount:
1. “Ghost In The Shell”: 60-80 million loss.

2. Transformers “The Last Knight”:
Worst one so far. Marginal profits and sub par box office in the US. Even the Chinese market backed away.
3. Star Trek:
It’s dead Jim
Many of the duds in the US manage to recoup some of their losses outside the US.
Many of the duds go straight to Netflix and Amazon Prime.
