Judging from the numbers, by the time domestic and international box office is accounted for, it'll may be able to just make back it's budget or be a minor loss, it's not a titanic bomb, but it definitely failed to excite.

The 144 million budget does not take into account the marketing and that's another 100 million right there. For a movie to be considered profitable, in the black, it has to make 3 times its budget back. That's just a fact.

This might break even once it hits VOD/Streaming. And this is not the kind of movie that's going to do gangbusters like Dredd 3D because of good word of mouth.

It's a big fucking bomb. Not one of the biggest bombs of all time. But definitely a bomb.

Edit: keep in mind that studio's take less money for every consecutive week a movie is in theaters.

This is is how it works:

For a movie chain to get a movie, they have to give something like 90 or 95% of their ticket sales to the studio for the first weekend. That's why soda and candy are expensive as fuck. By the second weekend, the studio gets a 60 or 70% cut of the ticket sales. By the third weekend they get about 30 or 40% and so on until the movie is out of theaters.

It works differently overseas where the studio takes something like 20% from the ticket sales. I remember a story in Germany where the theater chains refused to show movies from a studio that wanted a 40% cut of ticket sales.

In that regard, it might be en par with movies like Waterworld, that weren't really good enough as what you'd expect from a movie that expensive but weren't complete garbage either.
Sometimes, making a movie that's just "meh" and unimpressive is worse than actually making a dud of a movie that completely fails.

I'm referring to the box office...
 
It's the 21st Century, there's no longer any reason a woman can't bomb at the box office with the best of em.

Ghostbusters 2016 smashed the glass ceiling. That glass ceiling being the barrier between "absolute dogshit" and "literal cancer".

What was that about not being afraid?
 
It's still there, and the comments are everything you imagined they'd be.

Apparently it's referencing that there's actually a scene in the film where they drive the ghostbuster car through a literal glass ceiling.

If only they'd put as much effort into actual comedy rather than just snarky little jabs at men...

They should have also jumped the car over a shark tank while they were at it.
 
The car belongs to a MAN (Gorilla's uncle). So women can only traverse the "glass ceiling" with men's help.

Self-aware comedy? Who do you think made this movie? Mel Brooks? Nah, it was Paul Feig, so we're stuck with Queef jokes and kicks to the balls.

Yay! We broke the glass ceiling! Now an overprivileged white woman can do... what exactly? Lie to even more people that won't benefit from her politics, but she has a crinkly old vagina that even her husband hasn't touched since the 90s and apparently, that's the most important part of a person, or so I am lead to believe by Feminists, so hooray for that I guess.

Eh, you can tell a lot about people by what words they invent, and keep using....

Like how little class and education they really have, for example.
