How does hollywood movie industry profitability work?

569 views

As an example – I read recently that Gemini man (Will Smith movie) was a box office bomb and paramount lost 111mn USD because of this movie. However the budget is 138mn USD and box office collection is 173.5mn USD. With box office collection this high and budget lower than box office, what were the reasons for paramount to lose 111mn? Baffling to me.

Hollywood accounting and numbers should never be trusted. And when they say a “bomb” usually they are referring to not meeting projected revenue… Not necessarily “making” money or not.
