The movie cost $144 million to make and they spent $30 million on promotion.


They actually spent 100 million promoting it.

To break even this movie needs to pull 244 million.

So far it is sitting at 61 world wide...and the next two weeks some big releases are coming down the pipe.

Won't they make a lot from merchandising?

It is still the Ghostbusters name after all. And there's been enough publicity that some people will buy the toys.

I know it isn't just this movie, but take a step back and realize how ridiculous it is that they spend nearly as much to promote these things as it does to make them. Pretty unique product.

studios lie about these figures regularly. i'd bet it's even more. i am thinking at least 300 million to break even. unless this movie grows serious legs it is not going to be a success.
