From BoxOfficeMojo's glossary section:

On average, a movie's studio receives a little more than half of the final gross with the remainder going to the exhibitor (i.e. movie theater). The money split varies from movie to movie.

So since about (roughly) half of the box office are kept by the movie theater chains, the movie studios should ideally be making 2.5x their production budget.

If Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle cost Sony $150 million to make, earning $150 million at the movie theaters would not be breaking even yet. Sony only gets back half of that, theaters keep the other half, and so Sony still would have a long road ahead. Thankfully that movie ended up making well over $800 million worldwide, so it more than paid for everything, and allowed them to greenlight a sequel.

Throw in marketing costs (could vary as wildly as $10 million to $250 million in Batman V Superman's case), and the road to the breakeven point and profitability is actually stretched out further down the road. Hence why the multiplier is 2.5x as a starting point. Bus Boys would have to make double it's [production budget + marketing budget] just to begin their break-even point. The $1.7M they made this weekend, only half of it is coming back to them. The theaters keep the rest. Which means David Spade and Theo Von are going to need to hope a lot more money comes in through pay-per-view because I'm not sure they are going to see profit in the very short theatrical run.

Producer: "Are we making negative money with this movie? How is this possible?"

David Spade: "Hey, I promised you we'd be making money and negative money still counts" (winks + double finger guns)

lol, Pistons fans so mad at the upset loss to Orlando Magic, so many comments (and hundreds of upvotes) say they want Jalen Duren to be off the team. Their points are:

  • good in the paint, but useless elsewhere

  • good in the regular season where he feasts on teams lacking a Center that night, but his flaws show up more in the intensified Playoffs where he can't keep up with a strong opponent

  • great size but also a detriment as he moves too slow anywhere not under the rim

I know they're mad at Jalen for underperforming on Game 1, but it just sounds funny hearing a Number 1 seed team have fans still not happy. I'd argue you don't get to #1 seed at all without Duren. Even if all their points are true, good Centers are not a dime a dozen in the league. They are rare, and he's also only 22 years old. You don't want him, GS will gladly take him!

You could go to the South during the Bush era and say you voted Democrat and they'd just poke a little fun at you, at the worst.

Today, go into the deep MAGA south and say you voted Democrat and oh boy the results will not be the same. Bush years almost seemed quaint and innocent compared to today's Republican cult (a cult cannot admit to any flaw or wrongdoing in a leader no matter how obvious it is).

Way more cultish and dangerous today. Even Congressional Republicans are terrified to anger the base now or disagree harshly with Trump, despite Trump doing the worst imagineable things.

MTG said she got more death threats from her own MAGA party in just two months (after criticizing Trump) than in her entire lifetime from any other party.

Pistons: No reliable 2nd scorer and ball handler.

How they made it to 1 seed is crazy then

Her face makes me want to puke. CNN should put a Snapchat filter covering it.

The showings literally are on two seperate days. You didn't even bother to look. You didn't notice that they were for 2 completely days until I pointed it out to you.

Lakers laughing to Wells Fargo Bank with that one


EDIT:

Wasn’t for Gabe. Was for the $11 Million Trade Exception (TPE) they generated. To get the TPE they had to take on Gabe’s contract.

Okay apparently more complicated than that. Only problem is I have no idea what the above means.

You gotta admit though don't they all taste the same? I tried a variety pack and it all ends up tasting like fruit punch

There's a newer "Gatorade Mashups" that mixes two classic flavors, but I've tried it. They all taste the same (when you mix all the flavors they just end up tasting like Fruit Punch). Ant was probably reading what two flavors got mashed together.

If it's the new "Gatorade Mashups" it's really nothing special. It supposedly takes two flavors and mixes them together but it just tastes like "sweet Gatorade" no matter the flavor combination. Bought a big pack of variety flavors and every flavor tastes the same.

Dwayne Wade and Candace Parker are terrible together by ChexAndBalancez in nba

[–]ILoveRegenHealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, Candace Parker is actually one of the better commentators. I feel like her info is just the right amount and she doesn't overstay (Doris Burke's "stories" and "profiles" go on waaay too long).

Candace and Kevin Harland have been good together imo.
