David, your math doesn’t work on the podcast.

Posted by spamlet Aug 11 '20, 05:00

Aladdin made $350m in PROFIT not REVENUE (sorry can’t underline). So Disney first has to sell enough copies to cover the cost of the film and marketing and then has to sell another 12m to get to the profit numbers for Aladdin. Assuming $250m in costs, they have to sell about 20m copies so about 1/3 of the D+ base.

Responses:

i thought the advertised "cost" was just a marketing thing.. like, it didn't cost anywhere near to make the actual product. am i incorrect? - colin Aug 11, 07:04
