Now if only the repetition of you writing that led to $$$ alas, I have a feeling the results will agree with my impression of it in the end. We will see as early as this week.

I enjoyed the movie, though I thought the final battle was dragged out way too long. It was the only time in movie I was checking my watch.

If a movie breaks a profit first weekend the studio considers it a success no matter what, add on top good reviews and no one at Warner Brothers is unhappy today. Stop being such a pessimist.

@SteveRicketts isnt like 99.9% of all superheroes american? I thinks it's fair to reinvent some characters like Wonder Woman to be more worldly. Captain American is enough propaganda for me. In my opinion I like to enjoy my super heroes without all the politics.

Yet, it hasn't "profited" as of yet. A tad more than 50% of all the earnings go to the theaters, and supplemental giveaways. Factually, the film has earned roughly $105 million for DC/TW...they are currently $100 million from simply breaking even! Lets see how it goes. This is not me being a pessimist. I find this kind of numerical economics fascinating in the face of "fanboy' revelry

I think in the current market Blu-Ray sales are making the studios more money than theater tickets anyway.

The overseas markets are huge contributors to revenue on any given film. Let's see what happens.

Generally speaking a movie needs to make about 2 or 3X its budget to be considered successful.

The production budget for Wonder Woman was approximately $150M. Add about 50-100 million more for P&A which puts the movie right around where she is globally ... $223M (6/5/17 at the time of this writing). That's the break-even point. Awesome in the scheme of things as that is in just one weekend however it will need to be in the $300M range before WB considers it a success.

edit: Don't forget that WB doesn't get all of that back to them...a lot of the revenue goes right to theaters and then distributors above that before it even gets back to the studio.

Finally went & seen it last night. I set aside the posts & reviews (cheers AND jeers) about it and just let myself be immersed. I really enjoyed this movie from start to finish! I can't wait for Justice League now; I think WB has a good foundation to build on for further franchises, imo.

Nobody gets paid in hollywood until profits are made. It's a hard business. I actually wrote 3 screenplays, was optioned for 1, was promised 50% funding if I could come up with 10%. So yeah, like I said movie business is hard.

They also speculate on Blu-ray and DVD sales, not to mention back end tie ins.

DC will reap the heaviest on the back end. There's been a steady uptick for Wonder Woman collectables, but WB will reap the heaviest with DVD sales. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small uptick in their animated DVD sales too.

I wish Hollywood would start moving away from the traditional release models and give us digital on demand pay-pay-view day one. I'd even pay theater price for the option to sit on my couch and enjoy the movie.

That isn't always true. Some contracts pay some on front end. However, if you are in what is going to make a profit why take front end when back end can be far more profitable.
