It'll finish a little below. Maybe 350. Still a decent profit.
From what I've heard that if a film makes double it's production budget back it's doing ok and anything more is great.
Originally posted by juggernaut74You are ignoring the advertising costs. This movie is not a smash hit or even ant man status. Huge disappointment if you are being honest. AM as I said was better and the general public agreed.

Originally posted by quanchi112I'm not ignoring anything. I said if a movie makes double it's production budget it's the break even point. So if Shazam cost 100 million to make it needs to make at least 200 back to not be considered a financial loss.

Originally posted by juggernaut74False since you are ignoring its advertising costs and the fact it does not retain 100 percent of the box office. It is like talking to a kid.

Pacifice Rim made 411 million dollars on a 190 million budget and it made enough to make a sequel son.

411 is far more than Shazam is going to make, son.
It is far less than Ant Man. That is pretty pitiful compared to current comic movies.

But here we go. Do you realize Shazam cost half as much to make than it did to make Pacific Rim? And that Shazam will make as much as Pacific Rim?
Originally posted by juggernaut74I did not say the film flopped I said it is nothing special. It might be a cheap budget sequel. Who cares? Dceu will not care when they have real winners like AM or WW that are smash hits. Shazam was forgettable at best. Enjoy AntMan little brother status.

Pacific Rim barely got a sequel which tanked. 😂
You are bad at debating.
Originally posted by juggernaut74No, I base it off of my opinion. Ant man is lowest tier of the MCU in quality. My opinion is my own. You seem to get mad at success like it is a bad thing. I love the Last Jedi far more than TFA but the box office does not reflect that. Try to make sensible arguments in the future.
I happen to think the Ant-Man movies are some of Marvels best. But I see you base quality off of boxoffice.
