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

1.18K 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??

Studios also don’t spend as much on movies as they like to say. Often times there are tax credits and endorsements that help keep the cost down. Apple famously pays a lot for not only the Heroes in movies to use IPhone but for the bad guys to use non-iphones.
