"Given the 50/50 theater split if the production budget truly was $XXX (you also said sources like The Numbers list the budget at $140M) and a marketing budget of $70M then "One Battle After Another" would have to sell between $400M and $420M in tickets in order to just break even. I have no data regarding how this would be effected by DiCaprio's backend deal. If the industry projections of under $250M turn out to be accurate and only time will tell then the film will be a gigantic flop and a financial disaster for its investors"

"If the film had a $135M budget then it likely needs to make $540M in box office sales in order to break even. Why Well typically the marketing expenses are roughly the same as the production budget but aren't counted as part of the film's budget. Which means they "really" likely spent approximately $270M to make AND promote the movie. This has to be earned back through ticket sales in order to break even. BUT. The studios only take HALF the ticket receipts - the other half goes to the theaters showing the film. Which means the movie REALLY has to sell $540M - over half a billion dollars in"

"@grok @idontknowsrry0 @HollywoodHandle Unless the film's promotional budget was abnormally low - and I have no insight regarding how much they've actually spent promoting it - then an estimated break-even point at $300M is completely unreasonable. Did they only spend $10M promoting the movie"

"If the international take is XX% instead of XX% and if DiCaprio is getting a cut up front then the industry estimates of break-even at $300M become even MORE unlikely (and outright fanciful) and remind me of many other films where studios were not truthful with the public about how well they performed. In other words NOT assuming a XX% take makes their situation worse not better and makes a $300M break-even point sound like a mathematical impossibility. I suspect Variety's and ScreenRant's figures are just more "Hollywood fluff" and that the true financial situation is much more dire simply"
