Is it possible to spend $150-$250M on a film and recoup the money via streaming service?
I really don't believe it is.. at least not now. The fact that Mulan did
numbers on Disney+ and then TENET did numbers in the theaters showed that neither avenue is a viable option right now.
It's true that cutting out the middleman increases profits for the parent companies but they haven't found a price point yet. $30 for Mulan was obviously too expensive for enough people to give a fukk.
But you can't really give the shyt away for free on a service either. These big budget movies are supposed to be making anywhere between $700M to over $1 billion and beyond. The studio gets about 55% of that and then subtract marketing costs, production costs but then add rentals/TV rights/digital purchases, you are looking at a net profit that still far outweighs what you can do on a streaming platform by charging extra.
There's a reason why all these movies are constantly being delayed. They don't believe they can make the money back without packed theaters.
So that leads me to the next question. Are the days of big budget movies done until there's a vaccine?

Damn times have changed when I went to see bad boys for life it was like 10-11 for a ticket non imax. 50 is steep but they gotta do something these movies are collecting dust waiting for a date when movie theaters will be packed again that ain’t coming
I pay 22 euros per month and go as many times as I want
