@ib63319 If the movie flopped would she be required to give her paycheck back to the producers who lost money? If the answer is 'no' then STFU.

The $750k everyone is dividing by isn't the number that actually made the money.

Curry Barker shot Obsession for $750k. Focus then paid around $14M to acquire it at TIFF, and a 2,600-theater wide release runs tens of millions more in prints and advertising. The real cost basis behind that $148M is closer to $50M than $750k.

Still one of the best trades in modern Hollywood. Just not the trade the post describes.

Two different companies are winning here. Capstone financed the $750k production and sold worldwide rights, so their return is the $14M check plus international. Focus is playing the distribution margin, where studios keep roughly half of box office, so a $300M finish nets them somewhere around $150M against that ~$50M spend.

And "most profitable of all time" already has a holder. Paranormal Activity turned $15,000 into $193M, a 12,900x return on production budget. Obsession at $330M on $750k is 440x. Astonishing, and still nearly 30x short of the record.

The number that goes viral is the one that ignores who actually paid for it.

[LukeyG @LukeyTopG]

@fashionbombx @GiteshPandya Most profitable ever is always misleading because they never adjust for inflation. I think gone with the wind or some other movie from that era will always hold that title but I have no trouble believing it'll be the most profitable in the last 10-15yrs

[LukeyG @LukeyTopG]

@fashionbombx @GiteshPandya Ur looking at boss office gross, not profit. Cast and main crew take a chunk of the gross, plus residuals. It's hard to measure precisely because Hollywood accounting is cagey but industry insiders are saying the studio will end up with a much better ROI from obsession.
