editMovie box office bombs in 2019
editDid more movies bomb in 2019 than ever before? It seems like almost every big awaited movie bombed or didn't meet the expectations. What will studios learn from that? 59.153.235.134 (talk) 03:49, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- That's doubtful, but it's too early to say. List of biggest box-office bombs (which can be sorted by year) has only three entries for 2019, and two of those are still showing.Shantavira|feed me 09:22, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- If you are really interested in the numbers, such as box office sales, gross profits, etc..., check http://www.the-numbers.com/ (I especially like the summary at http://www.the-numbers.com/market/ ) 135.84.167.41 (talk) 14:54, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Those numbers only tell part of the story. What would really be needed is an estimate of hoped-for gross vs. actual gross, i.e. return on investment. A low-budget film with a relatively low intake could be considered highly successful if it brought in quite a bit more than it cost to make. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
