So, with a $300 million worldwide gross and a $130 million budget (CGI is frigging expensive, because they sure weren't paying Paul Rudd), is that considered a break even movie (to date) or a loser?

2.5 - 3 times cost of movie is the break even. The longer the movie runs in the theater, the higher the percentage the theater gets over the studios. Studios take more the opening weekend and then slowly get less and less. Unfortunately Disney hasn't disclose the cost for marketing which can be a pretty hefty sum on top of the production cost. Regardless, I'm sure they have broke even on Ant-Man and with China still to open, it is sure to add another $50-60 million overseas minimum. Not a blockbuster, but not a loser.

Its a flat rate now from my understanding too many chains went bankrupt and stuff had to be renegotiated so films had a place to stay so around 50 to 55 percent is the studio's take. The thing to keep in mind studios tend to get around 15 percent of the take in foreign markets after expenses.

 

Ant-Man with a 130 million dollar budget probably had 65 to 75 million go into marketing for the film. Lets go on the high end and say the expenses for this film is around 205 in total. The break even point will be between 325 million and 390 million.

 

A film like this on average will do 50-60 million on DVD/BluRay in which studios get a much larger cut than they do in the theaters don't have that number though.

 

As of right now the studio is only going to see from what has came in so far a 100 million.
