The Marvels Must Make $440 Million to Break Even

Making The Marvels cost Disney more than $270 million, Forbes reports.

In disclosed company filings, it was revealed that $274.8 million was spent, and the production banked a $55 million subsidy from the government of the United Kingdom, where it was filmed, bringing spending down to $219.8 million.

Forbes also shared that the movie will have to make close to $440 million in theaters to break even as studios only receive half of box office takings.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, The Marvels stars Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Seo-Jun Park, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, and Samuel L. Jackson.

The Marvels follows Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, who has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan, Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as The Marvels.

The Marvels is due to hit theaters on November 10.
