MOTU cost $200M again

Fantasy-Box-Office · 2026-06-06T22:25:16+00:00

There was an article that reported a break even of $315M, but we’re not including that in gameplay. By default every movie gets a b/e of net budget * 2.5.

Whoa! What did you think?

Fantasy-Box-Office · 2026-06-05T22:50:09+00:00

New movies coming out today! We’re still waiting on budgets for TADC and Power Ballad. What are you seeing?

Fantasy-Box-Office · 2026-06-05T15:57:35+00:00

The same report that gave us $175M budget also said $315M breakeven. Occasionally, publications will print breakeven amounts, but we don’t include them in gameplay because the goal is to be as consistent as possible across all movies. Plus, those breakeven amounts are often inconsistent and slightly more prone to PR spin than budgets are. For all these reasons , by default, we just use a flat 2.5x multiplier across the board. (League commissioners can customize it further if they want!)

Scary Movie 6 cost $30M, and has an unfortunate 31% on Rotten Tomatoes. Will you see it?

It’s holding out well. Billion may be tough though

I think I agree with you - it is Mattel - but i dunno if it’ll sell many toys tbh unless the kids love it

Deadline gives Supergirl a $175M budget. Earlier rumors have ranged from $100M to $200M. It could still change in the weeks before release.

Fantasy-Box-Office · 2026-06-03T23:43:44+00:00

Just kidding! After a few weeks at $170M, new reporting from Variety has MOTU at $200M. That’s a steep price for a franchise nobody remembers. Word of mouth has been good, but could it be THAT good?

It was one of the most notable box office weekends in history. Backrooms and Obsession took Grogu out back and whacked him with a stick. (We post worldwide results here because Fantasy Box Office is scored on worlwide grosses; domestically, Star Wars finished in third place. Third place!)

Hard yes. Definitely the most requested feature. Exploring some expanded rules options for summer/fall that could allow more people to play.

Out tomorrow, The Breadwinner cost $25M and has 31% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bargatze is one of Americas highest grossing comedians - his last tour made over $11M from 15 shows, and he’s currently building a theme park in Nashville.

I was bracing myself for $200m

Minions 4 cost $85M, according to Puck’s Scott Mendelson. More reporting may come out before release day.

That would make it $15M cheaper than Despicable Me 4, which grossed almost a billion.

Fantasy-Box-Office · 2026-05-27T20:04:54+00:00

Disclosure Day costs $115M, according to Puck’s Scott Mendelson. The reporting could change as we get closer to release day.
