      Then good thing superhero movies are flopping and something like the biopic of a physicist made a ton of money.

        Superhero movies are not flopping, dead on arrival capeshit schlock that no one asked for in the first place is flopping. Aquaman made 400 million dollars on a 200 million budget just in December.

        The “biopic of a physicist” was made by one of the most recognizable filmmakers in Hollywood and was further propelled forward by a once in a generation hype campaign that will be impossible to repeat, although there’s no doubt in my mind that studios will try nonetheless.

          Making double your budget is basically breaking even, once you account for marketing costs and the cinema’s cut of the take.
