MONEY, MONEY, MONEY - how much did the 2013 and 2014 CBMs make?

This maybe old news, and apologies if somebody has already posted, but I've stolen borrowed data from our good friends at deadline to really look at what where the most profitable CBMs of 2013 and 2014 (they don't, I think, have information for the 2015 films yet).

The films I'm looking at are:
 - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
 - Big Hero 6
 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier
 - Guardians of the Galaxy
 - Iron Man 3
 - Man of Steel
 - Thor: The Dark World
 - X-Men Days of Future Past

Box Office numbers don't tell the full story, and if you are interested to know how Deadline calculated these numbers, I'll put a list of inclusions and exclusions at the bottom. It's worth noting that these are still BEST GUESSES, as Studios don't release this information if they don't have to.


#1: Iron Man 3
Box Office: $1215m
Total Revenue: $1026m
Total Cost: $635m
Total Profit: $392m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.62

Fresh off The Avengers high, Iron Man 3 was a massive box office hit (and very divisive amongst fans). By far and away the most profitable film of 2013/14 by almost $200m, earning 62 cents for every dollar spent.


#2: Guardians of the Galaxy
Box Office: $774m
Total Revenue: $724m
Total Cost: $520m
Total Profit: $204m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.39

I don't think even Marvel expected a hit this big, a cool $200m profit, 39 cents on the dollar, and setting up what promises to be a huge franchise to come.


#3: Big Hero 6
Box Office: $658m
Total Revenue: $627m
Total Cost: $439m
Total Profit: $187m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.43

Often forgotten about as a CBM, Big Hero 6 quietly earning the 2nd highest Revenue/Cost ratio, and is the only one of these films to win a major Oscar.

#4: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Box Office: $715m
Total Revenue: $636m
Total Cost: $470m
Total Profit: $166m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.35

A huge jump for Cap's sequal, and this sharp upwards trajectory bumped Thor 3 down the schedule. Critically aclaimed, its hard not to see Civil War doing larger numbers (though RDJ's salary alone will blow out the costs).

#5: Thor: The Dark World
Box Office: $645m
Total Revenue: $575m
Total Cost: $436m
Total Profit: $139m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.32

Although a critically average film, Thor: The Dark World overcome its production issues to post a sizeable profit. I think Disney think they can do better though.

#6: X-Men: Days of Future Past
Box Office: $748m
Total Revenue: $653m
Total Cost: $576m
Total Profit: $77m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.13

This one surprised me, making only 13 cents to the dollar, it really shows that Fox put all its X-Men eggs in one basket. If the film had not been well received, they would have made a substantial loss, but its strong box-office performance made this a profitable film. I really think, if these numbers are true, that Fox will be hoping for a better margin for Apocalypse (perhaps a lack of merchandise dollars hurt!)
 

#7: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Box Office: $709m
Total Revenue: $640m
Total Cost: $570m
Total Profit: $70m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: 1.12

This shows why that, despite making more boxoffice than Big Hero 6 and Thor: The Dark World and on par with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, why Amazing Spider-Man in some circles is considered a financial failure, and ushered in the end of this particular version of Spidey. Making only 12 cents to the dollar, I think they were aiming for Iron Man 3 money, but fell way below that mark.


#8: Man of Steel
Box Office: $668m
Total Revenue: ?
Total Cost: ?
Total Profit: $43m
Revenue/Cost Ratio: ?

Deadline gave the profit using the same methodology as above, but not the accompanying numbers. Though the VERY small profit would have its Revenue/Cost ratio most likely below 10 cents to the dollar. Critically mixed response, if Batman v Superman makes similar numbers, the DCEU will be in trouble. I think that BvS will make mountains though.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing if Age of Ultron and Ant-Man make this list, but I feel that Fant4stic is such a bomb, it might not make Deadline's analysis.
