VanHalbgott,

Out of the 5 movies on this list, The Flash was the one I enjoyed the most (I didn’t see Dial of Destiny or Haunted Mansion).

TachyonTele,

I can’t stand the Justice League movies or Bats v Supes, but somehow I enjoyed the Flash (for the most part).

Or maybe I was just drunk enough to like it. Idk

ryathal,

The never ending debate, has superhero fatigue finally happened, or is it just shitty writing.

Bad year for Disney.

Microw,

Dis year they feeling like ney

Dippy,

Disney puts out 80% of movies now that they own 80% of studios

So these numbers don’t add up, are they adding marketing to the costs column when calculating the losses?

AZERTY,

The article has the full breakdown.

wildcardology,

I was like 219-206=237?

Having these three figures presented as the summary invites that kind of equation. After all:


<span style="color:#323232;">net income = revenue - expenses
</span>

But it looks like its a bit more complex, taking The Marvels as an example the $206.1m box office really converts to only $88m theatrical revenue for the studio. Then:


<span style="color:#323232;">revenue = (theatrical + home entertainment + television and streaming)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">218m    = (88m + 40m + 90m)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">expenses = (production costs + prints and ads + residuals and other distribution expenses + interest and overhead + participation)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">455m     = (270m + 110m + 21m + 54m + 0m)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">net income = revenue - expenses
</span><span style="color:#323232;">-237m      = 218m - 455m
</span>
