JUSTICE LEAGUE Could Ultimately Wind Up Costing Warner Bros. Between $50 And $100 Million
The bad news for Justice League continues to pile on, as it's now been revealed that Zack Snyder's DC team-up flick could end up costing Warner Bros. a lot of money. Get all the details after the jump...
Though Justice League is performing much better overseas, its disappointing $96 million opening weekend in The US has to be cause for concern... and things may only get worse for Warners.
Forbes has done some number crunching, and they reckon that between the $300 million in production costs and a further $150 million spent on marketing, Zack Snyder's film would need to earn between $700 million and $750 million worldwide just to turn a profit. As of now, final projections come in at around $635 million, which obviously does not bode well.
There's always a chance the numbers are off, but even if Justice League manages to break even or make some money for the studio, one has to assume that WB brass are currently planning some big changes moving forward.
Personally, I really enjoyed the movie, but what did you guys think? Are you surprised that audiences didn't embrace Justice League more? Sound off below.
