With only a few weeks to go until we reenter the Matrix, Warner Bros. has dropped a new teaser for The Matrix Resurrections, featuring plenty of new footage and confirming that the final trailer will arrive online sometime tomorrow along with the launch of ticket sales. 

They're also teasing "other EPIC announcements," which certainly has us intrigued. It's hard to predict what they could be planning, but if we were to wager a guess, early access screenings could be in the cards. The studio previously deployed a similar strategy for Aquaman in 2018, holding exclusive screenings across the country one week before its theatrical release, which helped build a considerable amount of buzz for the eventual billion-dollar blockbuster.

The Matrix Resurrections will see franchise stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise their iconic roles as Neo and Trinity, with an all-new supporting cast consisting of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, Jessica Henwick, Christina Ricci, Telma Hopkins, Eréndira Ibarra, Toby Onwumere, Max Riemelt, Brian J. Smith, Daniel Bernhardt as Agent Johnson, Lambert Wilson as The Merovingian, and Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe.

Lana Wachowski directed the long-awaited sequel, with a screenplay she co-wrote with David Mitchell & Aleksander Hemon. She's also a producer on the project with Grant Hill and James McTeigue.

Hmmmm so maybe Morpheus died of old age since Niobe is looking pretty old. Can’t wait for this.

@Thing94 - If you have no interest, why are you in a Matrix article posting a comment about the Matrix film.

If I had no interest in a film, the last thing I would be doing is commenting about said film I have no interest in.

@Typhoon20 - People are weird. We’ll complain how a movie’s too long or that we’re not gonna see a movie cause we’re not interested, and then spend even more time on YouTube videos and forums about them.

I’m traditionally a theater purist but as jazzed as I am to see this I’ve been burned by Matrix enough to commit to watching this one at home.

The only film that will bring me BACK to the theatre. Wait that was Halloween Kills (but that was more a holiday tradition that had to be honored).

As for the epic announcement…I am expecting an announcement of a Spin-off HBO MAX Series. Maybe this new Morpheus or new Bug Character.

How much money domestically would be considered not flopping?
How much money internationally would be considered not flopping?
How much money all-together worldwide would be considered not flopping?

Curious about actual numbers on this if you actually know. Thanks!

@WackyBantha - It's hard to say because numbers on the budget of the movie aren't out yet but you can expect the production budget to be at least 150 million. It's probably higher but for the sake of the argument let's keep it at 150. Now the studio obviously also spends good money on advertisement. This number can also seriously increase the overall budget depending on how much they advertise. So let's keep that at 100 million.

So let's say the total budget of the movie is 250 million spent. In order to break even the studio would need to make AT LEAST 500 million worldwide. Two things to clarify if you didn't know. Breaking even means the movie made enough money to cover the entire cost the studio spent. But the reason why this usually is double the amount of the budget is because the studio doesn't take 100% of the ticket sales. It's around 50% both Domestically and Internationally but I believe it's less for China.

So simply put if The Matrix: Resurrections' total budget is 250 million then it needs to make at least 500 million worldwide. Anything above that can be considered profit for the studio. Also, a few examples of other movies can be given. Halloween Kills for example made almost 132 million at the Box Office but the movie itself only had a production cost of 20 million. So you can easily see that this movie made a profit.

But on the side of the spectrum, we have Daniel Craig's final James Bond movie No Time To Die. It had a massive production of at least 250 million up to 300 million or more. It's being said that the movie needs to make at least 800 million to break even and it's currently at 763 million.

@WackyBantha -
in US theatres studios don't pay as much fees towards theatres for showing their films, hence the profits are maximized. Worldwirde box office is often hard to properly grasp since local theatres ask for different showing fees, so any profit made internationally will be a bit less than domestically (which is why domestic box office often matters the most).

For pretty much every movie you can consider this: if a movie makes it's budget back it 'breaks even', that's not a success and would still be considered a flop.

- If a film brings in 25-30% more than it's budget it's neutral and can make up for marketing, not desirable but that's the reality of studios. Not every film is a hit, not every film can rake in more than it cost. These films might ultimately even out what the production and marketing cost but profits will be made on home video and streaming.

- If it brings in 30-50% more than it's budget it's a moderate success. Marketing is paid for and there's a neat little profit made for keeps.
Later on home video sales will also pile up.

- If it doubles the budget or more then it's a proper hit and everybody's happy.

This doesn't always apply and is very generalized, not every movie's budget is 100% accurate as there are often hidden costs attatched like having an actor as a producer, having to cover up a scandal etc.

Added to that: a movie is a long-time investment, not just short time. Especially something like the Matrix movies. These films are legacy productions that will eventually make money as they age, the original movies are stil best-sellers on home video and streaming.
So IF a movie flops there's still a chance it may someday make a profit.
