187 Million is good they broke even so not a total embarrassment then. Had it stayed at 51 then it would have been even more humiliating but 187 and looks to be closing in on 200, investors won't be happy BUT they did get their money back. That money did not make money but they didn't suffer a lost.
Nah man. 200M is just production costs. They'd need at least 300M to break even with marketing costs. I'd bet it's even more than that.
ETA: Found an article about this from before it released. LINK
quote:
The general rule of thumb is a movie has to earn double its production budget in order to break even. By that metric, Lightyear needs $400 million globally to recoup its costs.
I don't know how much truth there is to that, but the author of that article seemed convinced Lightyear would have no trouble hitting that mark.
