When all is said and done, I'll be interested to read Deadline's profitability analysis that they do for the big movies because Endgame cost A LOT!
PRODUCTION BUDGET:
Avatar - $237 million
Force Awakens - $245 million
Endgame - $356 million
And that's before prints & advertising costs of $150 million! So, it cost at least 0.5 billion.
Still, according to what Deadline has put together so far, Endgame has already reached Cash Breakeven.
They're estimating a profit of $600-650 million if Endgame gets to $2.5 billion worldwide.
It'll definitely be interesting to see what the final profit numbers are when it leaves theaters. Because of its high cost, Endgame might not be the most profitable film this year when Deadline does its Box Office Tournament roundup the way Infinity War was last year.
Could Star Wars end up being more profitable, or has the franchise cooled given fan backlash against both The Last Jedi and Solo? Either way, Disney wins as I don't know what other movie could outdo these two.
