>>38539166>He should also realize that the fucking sequel has been canned if it only gets 5% of a return over its budget.estimate is 400M. It cost 150M. That's WAY more than 5%.
For comparison, Endgame cost 356M and is estimated at 700M.
62% vs 50% budget to estimated profit margin, DP is solidly winning.
Especially since we're also comparing a decade of buildup vs a darkhorse that only shares IP with a big franchise, and is not itself one.
Detective Pikachu is by no means a flop. It's just smaller scale.
The Tyler Perry's movies are insanely profitable, Diary of a Mad Black Woman has a *90%* profit margin, as did its sequel, but they aren't remotely chartbusters. Smaller budget, smaller payout.
