Quote from: nnodley on Jan 12, 2026, 05:18 PMprobably 1.6ish.  If they don't consider a trilogy of films that will make close to 7 billion a success, then I don't know what they would want. lol

They should be in pure profit at this point. Even if you consider a billion breakeven, that's still roughly 500 to 600 million profit. Plus the billion or more profit of Avatar 2. 
It doesn't work that way. 

Studios take roughly between 45-55 percent of movie revenue. Theaters take the rest. And it varies around the world. But roughly the general estimate is that it's 50% 

So when avatar makes 1.2 billion. Disney got revenue of 600 million. 

Now remove production cost. Let's say 400 million?
Then remove marketing cost. Let's say 250$ for something like avatar?

That leaves Disney 50 million in the red. And they would need the movie to make another 100 million just to break even

Those production and marketing cost are just me guessing just to explain how these things work.

no hype from me but context is important.  I've never in my life played any GTA.   it doesn't appeal to me.

I really love Mulan. One of my favorite Disney movies. 

I'd say it's a little underrated.

Image quality is fine. Audio is a little rough.

The content in the back though looks hilarious.  There's a random stage light on the left. Vehicles are going in random directions.
The cars look a little too long to me.
