Do you really want to get into a discussion of how to estimate profitability objectively?

Impossible to do with the way Hollywood accounting works. Im sure you'll pretend you can get a real number from a bunch of fake numbers though.

Rolling with Mackie as Cap is a mistake. Needs to be killed off.

Which is more accurate, Hollywood accounting or streaming service viewer numbers.

you are not a serious person. There are multiple sources all over the internet on how to estimate it

Hint: the studios publish production budgets (which are conservative) and the theaters have to file financial statements with the SEC that shows their cut

It’s not impossible to estimate despite Snow White being a huge bomb

Unfortunately the weight of this in the comics from decades of interactions.

Given what the MCU is, they are just going to be thrown together.

We'll get multiverse Dr. Doom orchestrating some rift to make them go after each other, before the FF comes in and unites them to all go after Doom.

So if/when they announce Chris Evans, are they gonna have to immediately clarify that it’s as Cap and not Johnny Storm?



I want it as both

they bloat the production budgets intentionally. James Cameron said Avatar 2 needed to break $2 billion to break even. no way you can believe them with these crazy production budgets they report so that they can avoid showing profit and paying back film subsidies or paying taxes. They have shell companies that they pay throughout the entire productions that they inflate the costs for so they can try to zero out any potential profits.

F1 Reported Budget is false

Was it IB Freeman who hated this plan when it was in play for Louisiana? Man, he was right, and I'll admit I was on the other side and was wrong - these things do not pay back.

Funny, I was in the room with some policy makers at the time just listening because i was involved with a few of the budgeting units for state strategic spending - and the pro-film data was pretty compelling.

Crazy production budgets? Are you insane? A typical blockbuster is $250mm-270mm. That is normal and has been for a very, very long time

Of your hugely false example here, they say it’s TENS OF MILLIONS off so instead of $300mm, it was $250mm at worst.

And yes, tax credits are a thing, but why are you trying to make it sound like every film gets a billion or even a sizable portion of that entire amount?

I don’t remember Marsden to be honest; all I remembered was they recast most of those roles

Where is Hawkeye? I loved her interactions with Yelena in the series.
