Nobody’s got a hard financial sheet. And you know that. But the public budget was $250 million, and it’s made over $900 million, if that’s not enough to be profitable then a lot of people need to get fired.
I’m not vested in it. I always knew it would make money. Nolan always makes money. There’s a reason why there was a bidding war for him when WB made him mad. He’s the golden goose, he makes high prestige movies that the studios can point to and say “see we don’t just make 4 quadrant crap” and he turns a profit.
I do enjoy laughing at people that all worked up about this. It’s funny as hell. I especially enjoy this story that suddenly thinks Spider-Man is a savior against woke, when just a few short years ago all the anti-woke people were in a twist because Zendaya got cast as MJ. She’s still MJ but somehow Spider-Man is no longer woke because Odyssey. That’s hilarious.
900 million total sales (as you agreed that is nowhere near the actual return on investment) likely hit break-even but no one makes a film like that to break even, they are looking for a serious return, especially from someone like Nolan
And yes, you are right no one knows the financial statements yet, because they are not released, has been my point all long.
I will add though if this film cost only 250-350 million and they cleared 500 million already we would know the real numbers because that would be a PR campaign in of itself to get more people in seats.
