Hercules almost already made back it's budget internationally alone without hitting the big China market yet.
But I suppose the US is the ONLY thing that matters when it comes to ticket sales

Hercules had a 100 million budget. Not including advertising. Lets say even low balling it, they had 50-70 million on advertising. Keep in mind some summer blockbusters spend 200+ million on advertising.
Theatres in the states take approximately 50% of a movies gross. Internationally that number ballons up to 60%.
Hercules has made 150 million on a 100 million budget. Once you add in advertising and take away the money theatres take that movie lost money.
The general rule of thumb in hollywood is a movie has to make double its budget before becoming profitable.
despised that movie..blind bought it because of alba and it was ass to me

where are you even getting these numbers for Hercules advertising because ironically, part of the problem for this film was that the advertising was practically non-existent. Hardly any of the casual movie-goers knew much about this movie and the weak trailers didn't help.Look you said it yourself, if a movie double it's budget then it's not bad. Hercules will likely finish with over 200m and break even at the worst.
Again highly disappointing but not exactly a flop...and definitely not a "bomb".

It bombed. Deal with it.
Hercules producers are the only ones that took an L.U conceded the L. Can't win 'em all.
I gotta delete this off JGLs wiki page. I cant let people know he was apart of this
Flop City
He turned down Guardians of the Galaxy to make this movie too
But to be fair, this movie was pretty decent

Will def break even after overseas money/creative Hollywood accounting. True money loses are actually somewhat rare.

I still think it's strange to see people argue with overseas box office numbers and marketing budgets and all that shyt.
I miss the days when a flop was just a flop. not a movie that will "make back its budget in Asia."
I'm going outside to yell at some of these clouds now. cumulus motherfukkers
