Typically movies have to do more than break-even to justify a sequel.I read somewhere an article talking about this. I thought an interesting point it made is that for big budget movies, typically as much is spent on advertising the movie as is spent of the production of the movie itself. So often also, the popularity of US (or domestic) ticket sales are trumped by Worldwide ticket Sales and various Home Video platforms. Sometimes the opposite happens when a movie is expected to do very well Worldwide and the Studios invest heavily in advertising for it, it bombs on export, and even though the domestic numbers were great - now the movie didn't meet the Studio's expectations. It gets extremely difficult to figure out the profitability of movies because the Aggregators aren't looking at the whole picture of how profitable a movie really is or isn't. Or there can be the scenario where a movie has a very mediocre release but they make a killing on Toy Sales or something like that - that could matter greatly in whether a sequel gets made (or a dozen of them).Sea-to-sky-games wrote in Random Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread: Once a rarity, there's likely diminishing returns to Star Wars movies at this point as well.

Suicide rates have increased across gender and geographic lines, but nearly 84 percent of people who kill themselves are white, and about 77 percent are men.
