A film full of realistic CG monkeys is only 10mil more expensive than Fall Guy? I smell money laundering on Gosling/Blunts part lmao

War of the Planet of the Apes did 490m worldwide but 112m of that came from China.
Probably a worldwide total of 350m in today’s marketplace if it opens around 50m domestic.

That’s a great number and very much in line with the last 2.
To compare(and keep in mind that inflation is a thing):
|**Movie**|**Budget**|
|:-|:-|
|Rise of the Planet of the Apes |$93 million|
|Dawn of the Planet of the Apes|$170 million|
|War for the Planet of the Apes|$150 million|

Great budget. And even looks like they spent the money well.

Has RT score dropped already?

It would need to hit $400M worldwide to break even, which seems achievable.

Tbh, given how stunning it looks, this is a surprisingly good and smart budget compared to the waste of money Disney productions had recently. Those 250M+ budget for every Disney movie was a trouble thread.

**$400M** breakeven.
Still think it will be the lowest grossing of the four *Apes* movies.
*IF* and *Garfield* will also cut into its family audiences which will affect its PG-13 legs.
The almost 2hr 30min runtime is also a concern.

Not so bad

Where do reliable non-production budget numbers come from? I understand most of the ones that aren’t just straight asspulls are filtered out of the Valley news garbage machine eventually, but there must be some up to date professional sources, like if I wanted to pay a consultant or analyst firm to tell me about P&A and ancillary costs on a particular movie or studio, who could I write a check to?

If it opens at $55m stateside and (spitballing) let’s say $80m overseas, that’s a worldwide opening of $135 million. Let’s say it legs out 2.8x to $378 million. Maybe let’s even be nice and say it powers to $400 million. That’s… okay. Probably will miss breakeven in the theatrical window. That actually hits 2.5x but it may need more to get out of the red. It’ll definitely turn a profit in streaming, then.

I think this one lives and dies by the reviews. People really like this franchise, probably enough for a strong opening weekend, but bad reviews will prevent it from overcoming this budget.
