Don't care if they spend 50 gazillion dollars per film. It's not my money, it's not yours, and you don't get a penny no matter how much they do or don't make. I'll worry about shit that actually matters. 🙄

This is the type of useless comment that one can make all over Reddit. People can discuss things that interest them dude, that’s what this place is for. A lot of it doesn’t have to be serious, it doesn’t have to “actually matter”

Have you been watching these movies with the expectation you pay for a ticket and get reimbursed or something? Do you get a penny when you buy a burger or a book? No you get a product you hopefully enjoy, by buying the product they stay in business and you get more of that product....welcome to the basic world we live in.
This comment is kinda frying me cause I don't get what you're even trying to say lol. You'll worry about shit that actually matters? Great...why are you commenting about it then? Go worry about stuff you actually enjoy you're not compelled to engage, talk about or take any interest in this topic.

This isn’t the profound statement you think it is, bruh…

It matters in the way that it will change which projects are made, and how they’re made. If a person cares about the brand, those decisions have some sort of impact.
I increasingly care less about it,year after year: but shrinking returns could mean they’ll take fewer risks.
I think Thunderbolts was one of the relatively few MCU movies recently that is 100% worth a watch. It did not do well at the box office, so the odds of them trying something like that again is slim.

It matters if you like these movies and want Marvel to keep making them. Because if they keep struggling to be profitable, then Marvel will stop making them.
DefNotAShark2025-09-23 15:51
Youre 100% right. This boring budget shit belongs on r/boxoffice and not here. They keep dragging it over here and I wish they would keep the trash in the trash bin where it belongs. I’m struggling to imagine anything less interesting than tracking how much money Disney makes from movies.

Studios know how to make money even when they lose money. They can also pretend that they lost money when they made a shitton of money. They know how to screw over the creative people while lining the pockets of the executives and shareholders no matter what the outcome is of the film itself.
It's mostly a game of averages anyway since some movies will do well and some will do less than well.
When movies made bigger box office, they spent more. Now that it's making less at the box office, they will spend less. Feige was talking about how FF:FS used cost-cutting methods developed by other filmmakers (The Creator by Gareth Edwards) to bring the budget down significantly while still making the movie look great, so they are already doing that.

They definitely need to rein in costs. And part of that means they need to stop changing so much during production.
The less reshoots, the less rejiggering of stuff on set during the actual shoot, the cheaper it will be. They won’t have to do special effects for a scene 10 separate times because Marvel keeps changing their minds.
matty_nice2025-09-23 15:50
No. Obviously their next few films will do a lot higher.
It's also not a movie industry thing. Other movies can still get an audience.
500M is really just a specific thing. Make three movies in a row that don't hit, with characters people don't care about....you get to 500M as a relative ceiling.
I don't think Marvel gives us three "B-listers" in a row again.
Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-09-23 17:06
2025 is probably the lowest Marvel made from their slate of films in the Multiverse Saga. But next up is a Spider-Man movie and 2 Avengers movies which will carry the big bucks
SeekerVash2025-09-23 17:21
Disney has two options.
1. Make movies with wider appeal.
2. Reduce costs and accept their audience is static.
IMO, they need to address their appeal problem. 500 million isnt their ceiling, 500 million is the ceiling of their current offering.
An Ironman 4 movie with Downey would do 700m-1b. A Guardians 4 with the cast of Guardians 3 would do 700m-1b. Spiderman 4 will do 800m-1.2b.
Marvel can do more. Just not with what they've been trying to do.
RihoSucks2025-09-23 17:22
Enough with the armchair accountants. They dont know shit unless they actually work for disney.
Remarkable-Key-93352025-09-23 17:25
"New Ceiling" when Brand New Day and Doomsday are going to both make $1.5B+ lol. Let all these idiots get these dooming articles out when they can
