Per AI...

“The Break-Even Threshold: Based on standard industry multipliers for blockbuster films, the movie needs to gross roughly million at the global box office to break even.”

Doesn’t look like they shot in the UK, so no tax credits there.

Greece and Italy, both shooting locations, offer seriously generous tax incentives, better than the UK, for filming there, so no doubt saved a nice chunk there.

I can see why Trump wants the tariffs.

But even with those seven figures tax credits, this thing is going to lose one helluva lot of money.

S they shot in Greece and Italy.

Likely took the tax credits.

But couldn’t be bothered to cast any Greeks or Italians in major roles.

What a racket.

“the movie needs to gross roughly million...”

Seems there is a number missing here. 1, 2, 100 million?
