Despite the good results ofOne battle after another at the box office…
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and brought by Leonardo DiCaprio, One battle after another was released on September 24th. The film follows Bob Ferguson, a man who was part of a revolutionary groupthe “French 75”, many years earlier. From now on, he lives as a recluse in a small town with his 16-year-old daughter, Willa. But when his old enemy reappears in his life and Willa disappears, he is forced to come out into the open to find her.
Until now, One battle after another harvest approximately 140 million dollars in the world according to data reported by Variety. This amount is more than honorable. Especially for a film that is not part of a franchise, Rated R in the United States (i.e. for which children under 17 must be accompanied) and which lasts almost three hours. But maybe it will be largely insufficient to prevent Warner Bros. from losing a staggering sum.
…Warner Bros. could lose $100 million
Warner Bros. would have spent more than 130 million dollars for the production ofOne battle after another. They add to this 70 million marketing costs. And ticket sales are normally split 50-50 between studios and theater owners.
“Battle After Battle” needs about $300 million to break even in theaters. The film’s current $140 million gross is impressive for an original film rated R and nearly three hours long, but the film is still looking to lose $100 million.

Second Variety, One battle after another it will therefore have to raise around $300 million to allow Warner Bros. to repay its investment. And according to several sources interviewed by the media, the feature film will not achieve this goal. He’s on the right track causing the studio to lose approximately $100 million.
A loss to put into perspective
A representative for Warner Bros. denied this information. He noted that the studio’s films released this year have grossed more than $4 billion in total to date. But second Varietythis figure refers to film revenues, not profit for the studio.
However, the media indicates this the triumphs of Warner Bros. in theaters since the beginning of the year (of which Minecraft AND Evocation: the hour of judgment) will help the studio offset its losses generated by One battle after another.
And Paul Thomas Anderson’s film will undoubtedly be one of the favorites at the Oscars. Which still makes it very important for the studybeyond box office revenues. Even though it suffered a loss of around $100 million, the feature film should therefore not be a major failure for Warner Bros..
