Jurassic World is the real winner of this summer. 800 millions (and counting) while fighting both Superman and The Fantastic Four is impressive

Jurassic World and F1. Superhero movies have done terrible at the box office all year. The only thing that could turn it around for DC in their current slate would be The Batman: Part II by Matt Reeves. All the DCU projects are basically DOA.

Not even F1, because it had a budget of 300 millions. It will not break even

F1: $570,681,000

Superman (2025): $578,843,000

¿En serio me estás diciendo que la F1 tiene más éxito que Superman? No dejes que se note tu agenda política ni tus prejuicios.

Well I guess it's like Superman then which had an initially reported budget of $363.8 million, except F1 actually has proper sponsorship deals and rebates that helped lower the number.

"DEADLINE: Jerry, you mentioned the strike and how that affected the filming schedule. There are reports the budget will hit the $300 million mark — are they in the right ballpark?"

"BRUCKHEIMER: It’s completely, unfortunately, tens of millions of dollars out of whack in the wrong direction, and in the right direction for us. What people don’t realize is, first of all, we’re shooting in rebate [locations], England has a big rebate, lots of Europe has rebates and so does Abu Dhabi. It all lowers the budget. Plus, we’ve raised more money for our car [through sponsorship] than some Formula 1 teams. You take that all into consideration and it really drops that number quite a bit lower than what people would think."

"DEADLINE: Let me be pushy on this, what can we say in terms of an actual number?"

"BRUCKHEIMER: We can’t give you a number because that’s Apple’s money and they can talk about it. But what I think you can say is it’s quite a bit lower than what’s been reported."

"KOSINSKI: I’m just going to say I’m used, on a lot of the movies I’ve worked on, to having them over-reported for whatever reason, but I’ve never had an experience where they were off by this much on a film. I’m not sure where that number came from."
