Part 4/7:
The Dungeons and Dragons movie reportedly had a production and marketing budget tallying around $150 million. To break even, the film would need to earn approximately $400-450 million worldwide, accounting for marketing costs and distribution cuts. At the current pace, reaching such a target seems unlikely without a significant boost in subsequent box office legs, which is not guaranteed.
Comparatively, Shazam! Fury of the Gods faced a similar struggle with high production costs and poor returns, and Dungeons and Dragons appears poised to follow a similar trajectory if sales do not improve dramatically.
