Part 5/9:
Disney’s emphasis on high-budget productions appears to be a major contributor to recent failures. For instance, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," with a reported $250 million production budget plus $150 million in marketing, might have just managed to break even at around $850 million globally, but not without challenges. Larger budgets require massive box office returns to turn a profit, and with recent performances falling well short, financial losses are becoming more common.
