If you ever listen to the studios then they never make money ever and they are all running at a loss and cinema is failing and theatres are all going to shut down. This has been happening at least since the invention of home video, or as long as I can remember.

Well I've never hear any studio say that, it's always the fans who factor in marketing and others things where it actually seems impossible for any film to make any profit.

It's not impossible for films to make a profit, they still get to add on revenue from home disk sales and merchandising after the fact, but that doesn't change the fact that the benchmark for how a film does it it's gross box office take and if that's low, it's the first indication of a basic failure. (as again, they don't get 100% of disk sales or merchandising either, it's just some aftermarket icing on the cake)

I've been looking at a lot of box office numbers the last few days and pretty much 90% of movies both tentpoles and none tentpoles only make double of their budget, no more, according to people in here and others, that is not enough to make a profit, so what movie is making a profit? BvS tripled its budget but its still a dud?? doesn't make sense to me.
