Mermaid grossed $570 million. You’re telling me it cost $685 million to produce, distribute, and promote? That’s insane.
It had a ridiculous 300million budget. Plus around 150 million for marketing, and the theater cut (which can vary a lot). So yeah, it would need a lot to break even.

Yes what most people don't take in to account is that the studio doesn't get all the money the exhibiters take around half and international substantially more than half. The China numbers are mostly for looks they are lucky to see any of that money.

Honest question: Has the distribution marketplace shifted such that the timelines for recoup should be stretched out? Is today's Little Mermaid loss ultimately a net profit once you factor in streaming rentals and added subs? That would be a lot like the music industry where successful new artists typically take a couple album cycles to recoup.

Yes, they’re all just ads for merch anyway. The first Frozen came out eleven years ago and that crap is still everywhere. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
