Welcome Wordforge posters

The MCU Phase 5 thread hurts my brain.
WAB: "Thunderbolts has grossed over $380 million. That's more than Volpone will ever have in his life."
Raoul the Redshirt: "An article in Variety says it had a $180 million budget and $100 million in marketing and will need to make $425 million to break even. I don't understand this. Assuming the budget and marketing really cost that much still, wouldn't everything over $280 million be profit?"
Of course. Because movie theaters give 100% of the ticket sales to the studio. They show movies out of charity and goodwill.
And having a $380 million box office doesn't do you much good if you wind up losing $60 million to get it.
