It was a little hairy. It cost 165 million, made only 108 million domestic, with another 180 overseas (which means it only netted about half of that, or less). It was kind of in the middle-but-not of COVID, so there's that, and also it benefited from the quick on-demand PPV release at home.

So, certainly broke even and made a "twee," as best as I can figure.

Me, I'm still on the fence about these movies. I can't get excited about a third reinterpretation/adaptation of the first book. The last time around we at least made it to the second and third books before things petered out, but here we are back at the first again, apparently on the seat of our pants. By some stroke of luck we're even getting the second half of the first book, lol, let alone anything else. So I'm not really getting excited yet. But so far so good, beyond random choices (did Liet Kynes really need to be a woman? and black?).
