[ELI5] How do film studios stay in business with so many bombs?

1.19K viewsOther

I saw an article that the movie “I.S.S.” made 1.2 million this opening weekend. I’m no movie expert but I’m guessing it cost a lot more than that to make.

Not trying to make an argument about whether they’re good or not, but it seems that the last 4 or 5 WB/DC Super Hero movies bombed hard, too. How does WB continue to make movies if each one makes less than it cost??

It made 1.2 million dollars *this opening weekend.* It still has as full month or so in cinemas, plus it only premiered in the US and even after it’s not in theaters anymore, it will be in on-demand streaming, then it will be in subscription streaming, then it will go on TVs, which keeps making money directly and trough rights.
