How do movies that gross many millions of dollars over their budget still result in the production company losing money?

275 views

For example- I looked at The Mummy (2017) on Wikipedia, which had a budget of $125-195 million, and grossed $410 million worldwide at the box office, yet it also says the studio lost $95 million. How is that possible?

In addition to all the answers stated here, the studio or production companies do not get all of that gross revenue. The movie theater chains will get a certain amount too, and the percentage gets even smaller when it comes to the foreign market.
