I realize that. It just seems odd that this movie needs to earn so many times more above the production budget to break even, compared with other movies. There was lots of marketing for this film, but it couldn't have been that extreme. Some anonymous insider declaring that this movie needs to take in $800 million to break even is hardly gospel.
