Part 5/8:
Using typical studio revenue splits, the numbers suggest Disney is still in the red:
Domestic box office: $148 million, with studios usually net around 55%, resulting in approximately $81 million for Disney.
International box office: $275 million, with Disney generally taking about 40%, amounting to roughly $110 million.
Adding these together gives Disney around $191 million in gross revenue, which starkly contrasts with the $300 million combined production and marketing costs. This means Elemental is still approximately $100 million in the negative, even with optimistic projections.
