What the hell are you talking about? I'm not a Disney fan or a Star Wars guy. More than half their movies and shows have sucked. If a show sucks, I'm not going to watch it. Yall are the ones watching crap like the Acolyte and Boba Fett bitching about it at the same time supporting it.

Maybe read a trade. They are reporting $160 million in production and $175 million P&A. That means a box office and tax credit of $625. The California tax credit was reported at $22 million. leaving $603 from box office.

+ marketing being reported at $100m worldwide so it’s higher just with what’s being reported and we know Disney lies about their budgets so it’s likely even higher. I just don’t get these arguments when the proof is Disney moving away from their original plans surrounding the sequel trilogy which brought in around an average of well over a billion per movie. Lucasfilm had planned to put out a movie per year based on those characters but had to stop 7 years ago because they weren’t profitable. It’s cope and some ignorance.

Most are estimating more narrowly 500-550
I hope it hits that.

They’ve been wrong 100% of the time for the better part of a decade now but still act like it’s everyone else that’s crazy. Cultish behavior

...and its a flop. Pretty bad considering it opened on a holiday weekend with no real competition.

I couldn't get past Episode 1 of S2 so this wasn't for me, but I feel like if they were going to make this, it would have been better after season 1 or 2 when the popularity was at it's peak. I feel like most people don't want to go see a movie that is just going to be two more hours of something they've already watched 30 hours of.

A trade like the Hollywood Reporter? Variety? Like Deadline? All of which have estimated the marketing as at-least-but-around $100 million?
"Estimated" because anyone reading a trade would understand that the marketing numbers are not reported by the studios, are not directly related or connected to the budget of the movie, and are a guess made by trade reporters based on assumptions of the market costs of advertisements combined with confirmed ancillary brand deals.
So, yeah, dude. Maybe read a trade instead of repeating the garbage.

Exactly. This board is obsessed with adding marketing to the budget, but they conveniently leave out all the ancillary profits the studios make

Its funny because I haven't heard them bring up how much they lost on the 3 seasons of The Mandalorian TV show that cost over $350 million to make and made $0 at the box office.
Id like to know how they can make that make sense in their heads but the movie will somehow be a loss if it doesnt make $600+ million

The value of the show is the metric of how many subscribers were gained/maintained by the show.
There is no way to know that figure, except from Disney
quote:That 500-550 million to break even is what all the trades have been saying, consistently

400-600 million was the broad estimate initially. People saying more than 600 million, I have no clue where they got that number.

At least you understand that. Adding movies to the streaming service has the same effect. It's why you see netflix spending 300 million on the electric state and more on the knives out trilogy.
Disney will make money off this to at least pay for making it and then get to add it to their streaming library.

Original shows drive subs because you can't get them elsewhere, and you have to stick around until the show ends

Pretty sure Electric State is seen as a failure, though.

So you have better information than The Hollywood Reporter’s Lucasfilm source? (And the New York Times’ published budget).
Because that’s exactly what they published in their trade

Toy department is separate from the film department. Lucasfilm can make money from toy sales associated with the movie, that wouldn't be counted in the film's P/L
It is a good point, in theory, but tough to materialize.
The P/L would be tough to quantify, even if they were the same department, since the Star Wars IP and the Mandalorian IP already generate X dollars, you would have to show a change in that revenue associated with this film.
