I just learned(I think) about how the box office works. I was told that you have to take the budget double it, then double that and that's how much a movie has to make to make a profit. So TWS budget was 170mil
170 = Production
170 = Marketing
So they spent a total of 340mil right?
So I double that and its 680 million. So TWS had to make 680 million just to break even?
It only made 714 million....
I looked up Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix made 967 million... but actually lost 167 million.
My question is. Why are they even spending money on big budget movies if they aren't making a profit?
