Its not a complicated formula, and the way they teach it, has helped thousands of people do everything from create a respectable side-income, all the way to making 7-figures per year online, and live their dream lives.
Filmmakers have no control over how moviegoers will react to their movies. They can have a huge budget, award-winning directors, talented screenwriters, and A-list actors all lined up, and the movie could still flop at the box office.
It’s been proven more than once that big budgets and Hollywood actors don’t guarantee box-office success. Moviegoers sometimes just like stories that are fresh and creative, and you don’t need a lot of money to create compelling stories.
There are actually more than a few low-budget movies that have made bank at the box office. Here are low-budget movies that made millions.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has recorded a M profit for the third quarter ending December 31, 2019. This is down 50% from the 2M Q3 profit it saw in the comparable period of 2018 which had benefited from the global success of Venom. However JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL has helped, but more for Q4 overall.

In the video today, we look at why basically every single major movie in Hollywood loses a ton of money on paper, no matter how much it makes. We further look at how the studios actually do this, and in the Bonus Facts how and why major sports leagues do the same.

In this video we’re going to look at how movies make money, and why box office numbers are misleading….
There was a time not all that many years ago when the public didn’t generally know how much money a movie earned at the box office on its opening weekend. That made it possible for a film to start slowly and, if it had good word of mouth, become a hit over time.
Now, box office totals are widely reported.
But it’s important to remember that box office totals reflect how much people have paid theaters for tickets for a movie. And a film becomes profitable after the movie company has recouped all the money it spent not only making the movie but marketing it.
So, let’s take a hypothetical superhero movie based on lesser-known DC character Marvelous Man. Due to the success of Aquaman, Marvelous Man: The Movie gets a green light and a budget of 0 million — a relatively small amount for superhero film. And let’s further assume the movie actually comes in exactly on budget. At this point the studio is 0 million in the red.
It then has to let the public know the movie is coming. It does this by advertising, promotional tie-ins (like a Marvelous Man Happy Meal toy), and media junkets with the film’s stars. That all costs money too and that has to be recouped as well before the movie can be considered profitable.
Let’s pretend that another million was spent on marketing Marvelous Man: The Movie – there’s no hard and fast rule for marketing budgets, but half of production budget isn’t uncommon.
Now that movie has been made and promoted, it’s time for opening weekend. Say Marvelous Man: The Movie sells 0 million in tickets on opening weekend. It’s a big number, but it’s very important to remember that the studio does not receive all of that money — the theaters get a cut.
How much is that cut? It varies. For a huge film like a new Star Wars or Avengers movie, Disney has leverage. It can negotiate a bigger cut and demand the theater show the film on multiple screens. It can also ask for a higher percentage of the gross in succeeding weeks.
In general, the studio’s percentage gets lower the longer a film has been in theaters. That’s done to entice theaters to keep films playing longer.
So, in the first week of a film that’s not a sure thing, the company producing the film might get 60% of the box office. That means that on the shocking 0 million in tickets sold by Marvelous Man: The Movie at the domestic box office, the company that made the film gets paid million… meaning it’s still million in the red.
Foreign box office is even more complicated but it’s all based on the theaters getting a cut and the movie producers getting a cut. The math varies, but in a very broad sense movies haven’t made any money until their box office roughly equals twice the money spent on production.
Of course, a movie isn’t done once it leaves theaters. Money is paid for streaming rights — a number that can be challenging to actually apply to any one movie since deals tend to be studio-based for multiple films. There’s also DVD sales, rentals, an eventual pay cable window, then maybe a free cable or broadcast deal. And don’t forget about licensing opportunities with merchandise.
But in general, the bulk of a film’s revenue comes from its theatrical run.
Let’s take a look at a real example to break down how fixating on just the gross box office figure warps the picture of a movie’s profitability.
Much-maligned film Solo: A Star Wars Story made 2 million globally at the box – but the studio only got a cut of that total.
It had a reported production budget of 5 million and had a big marketing campaign behind it. We don’t know the exact number, but it’s safe to assume promotion cost 0 million, maybe even 0 million.
So it’s entirely possible that Solo lost a decent chunk of money, even on the nearly 0 million it posted in ticket sales.
Unfortunately running the numbers on the movie industry involves a lot of guesswork because the cuts on ticket sales aren’t always reported and marketing spend often isn’t made public.
The bottom line, however, is that most movies make the bulk of their money from the revenue split with theaters and there’s no clear way for the public to know exactly how much money any given film makes or loses.
Now next time you see a big box office number, you’ll know there’s more to the story!
