Tbh that’s disheartening to hear. It has a budget of 70m. After standard marketing/distribution costs, the distribution company is probably hoping to make up the necessary funds in long term licensing fees, or losing money on the investment. I know the movie was already made and shelving it was asinine, but it would’ve been nice for the project to be fairly profitable as to disparage future efforts to kill films already finished.
Ketchup only paid 50m for it apparently
Almost the entire marketing budget is in this thread.
The outrage over it getting shelved and the company taking the write off is like 90% of the things I heard about the movie. I went to see it with my daughter out of spite (we also needed a school holidays movie but I picked this one because of WB’s bullshit.
