So when you see a movie’s budget its just the production budget without marketing costs?

Trailer Editor POV :
Sure, they need to make 2.5 times the budget to stay out of the red. But that doesn’t explain why they NEED to do that on opening weekend. This is something that’s really only been the case in the last 25 years, roughly.

I dunno. Using ‘Hollywood’ & ‘wisdom’ in the same sentence seems like an oxymoron.

Can you do a video of the biggest or most surprising films that have become profitable due to secondary sales after flipping in the theatre?
