Of course it beat the studios expectations, those were revised down because of the pandemic. What surprises me is how the UK and Germany prop up these turkeys. $70 million from Germany and $127million from uk. Everybody else seems low based on past movies.
Now when the talk about profit the $60 million from China only get the studio $15 million, so the $675 with out China, roughly divided in half lets round up to $340 million then we add China $355 million before home video and Blu-ray sales.
$300 million cost plus P&A and the early ad campaigns got to be minimum $150-175 million, easy. Maybe more they were spending something like $130-150 million 19 years ago with brosnan, wish I could find that list we had on the budget with p&a on it.
