[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7638679, member: 177"] As if anyone who ever made a movie wasn't hoping that it would be massively popular and financially successful? Again - if you are trying to make money on the box office alone, "break $100 million" isn't actually the issue. The ratio of return to investment is the issue. Let us look at the [I]most profitable movies[/I] of all time, shall we? [url]http://mentalfloss.com/article/68552/20-most-profitable-movies-all-time-based-return-investment[/url] Paranormal Activity (2007)- 19,749 percent return on investment The Devil Inside (2012)- 3632 percent ROI Peter Pan (1953) - 3394% ROI Grease (1978) - 2969% ROI God's Not Dead (2014) - 2627% ROI Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) - 2471% ROI Insidious (2011) - 2139% ROI Young Frankenstein (1974) - 1954% ROI It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - 1804% ROI Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 1771% ROI Jaws (1975) 1755% ROI Annabelle (2014) - 1408% ROI Beauty and the Beast (1991) - 1340% ROI The King's Speech (2010) - 1209% ROI Magic Mike (2012) - 1181% ROI The Fault in Our Stars (2014) - 1119% ROI The Purge (2013) - 1097% Slumdog Millionaire (2008) - 1067% ROI Black Swan (2010) - 1039% ROI Unfriended (2015) - 1011% ROI 13 out of 20 of these were in the last 20 years. The majority of them are new properties. So, yes, there are big vehicles that make tons of cash, but the big-budget films are not the ones that earn the most profit per investment dollar. [/QUOTE]
