[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8981157, member: 6716779"] It wasn't studio expectations. They would want as much money as possible. A few days before it launched was when the indusyry expectations came out that we're using. Industry expectations weren't that great. John Wick by comparison made its budget back X2 in its second week. D&D will only make its budget week 3 or 4 with a very optimistic 30% decline. If the decline is 70% the movies pretty much done. Minimum it needs around 300 million and that's assuming it's 151 million cost includes its marketing budget. Hollywood accounting can't really do anything about its box office take. It's more for tax reasons or who gets what. If the movie doesn't make 300 million or even 200 million other its more about who loses what. Actual loses might ne lower die to tax write offs but they may have spent 150 million but only get 100 million on revenue. Someone's taking a dunking on that. [/QUOTE]
