It remains a shame that Paramount didnt use the relationship they built, being hired to distribute Marvel Studios's 1st batch of MCU movies, to swoop in and buy Marvel themselves. Hell, they may even have gotten rid of Peermutter sooner, amongst other things and what a different world that could have led to. But they were happy ro "just" cash the distributor cheques (not that they didnt earn them, they did avery goid job with those global release schedules, trailers etc.) while they.made bank on their Transformers licence & so on. I genuinely don't think they saw the potential of those "B-list" characters Marvel hadn't licenced away to grow into the multi-billion money factory they were just a few years and films away from becoming.
I don't think it's near that $300m. $250m was the max, although yeah, it would still as Scott says, conventionally be a box-office "flop", but the whole awards, post-Covid peiple dont see films like this so much etc.🤷🏾♂️

Even if Gladiator II crawls to $500m worldwide, isn't it a financial disaster by any regular metric (when the budget is reportedly closer to $300m)?
