Part 3/9:
For instance, Snow White reportedly had a production and marketing budget of between $240 to $270 million, yet grossed only $205 million worldwide. Similarly, Thunderbolts managed around $382 million in global gross, but it’s clear that this figure fell short of breaking even when considering marketing and distribution costs. Elio, a Pixar film, was an astronomical failure, with its box office receipts not nearly covering its hefty production costs.
Most recently, Tron Aries, with a reported $180 million production budget, is expected to fail spectacularly, with early estimates suggesting it may only earn around $60 million globally. This wide gap between budget and gross indicates significant losses, potentially in the hundreds of millions.
