Black Adam 2 Not Moving Forward Soon, Dwayne Johnson Says – The Hollywood Reporter
So it turns out the budget for this was 260M. This movie flat out flopped. They only recouped around 195M from theaters which still leaves 65M + marketing (let's say 100-150M). This movie ended up losing around 165 to 200+ million dollars.
I’m not sure why Deadline.com was so quick to argue for BA’s (modest) profitability. But according to their number crunchers, the movie’s total cost (including marketing) was ~$338M. And its total revenue (including streaming, DVD, merchandizing, etc.) will end up as ~$390M. Hence, a $52M net profit. However, this is based on a production budget of $195M. If the actual figure is $260M, then +$52M becomes <$13M>. Even if that’s an underestimate, the true loss is probably not quite as bad as <$165M>.
