[QUOTE="Henadic Theologian, post: 8979935, member: 7030526"] We also don't really have the international numbers yet, just a hand full of smaller markets, not the big ones like Germany, Indonesia, China, Japan, Uk, Australia, etc... Also the costs are split between Hasbro & Paramount, but Eone Hasbro's company has distrubution rights only in Canada & the US, Paramount has it everywhere else. This means its Hasbro that shouldering the risk, but I'm betting they are banking on more then making up any loss via merch sales and a long term boost to the the brand & cinematic universe. So the bar for success as far as Paramount is concerned is actually alot lower because of how heavily Hasbro subsidized this money in their favour. Hasbro is likely banking on making its money more on the merch side of things, and if DADHAT ends up being a loss leader for their taxes, its not ideal, but its fine as long as Paramount are happy enough to keep helping to build a D&D cinematic universe.
