Evenly split? From my understanding, the first two or three weekends, the studio receives 70-90% of the revenues depending on the contract. It's after that it becomes around 50%, maybe even lower (in favor of the theater) since a film will be drawing less viewers than that by then usually and the theater needs compensation for still devoting screenings to it.

Thunderbolts, like most movies, made the vast majority of its money in the first two weekends.

But honestly, it's at this point you realize there's too many variables to ever figure out if the film did well or not barring a MASSIVE underperformance or success at the theater.

It's indeed complicated. Studios do usually get more of the revenues in the first couple of weeks, but I think that's more in the 60-65% range. Hollywood also gets a slightly lower share from the EU BO and only 25% from China.

A friend of mine used to be the manageress at my local cinema and for the first few weeks the split was apparently 90/10 in favour of the studio.

I think in the heyday of the MCU, Disney was able to get that kind of ratio, not so sure now. Covid really put a whammy on theaters and I'm not sure they can be as generous, especially with films going to digital in just a few weeks.

So I finally got around to seeing this movie, and it was surprisingly ok? I honestly didn't expect it to be mostly a mental health check for D tier superheroes. Granted, my expectations were pretty low, but I ended up enjoying this more than any Marvel movie in years.

I used to read/collect comics, but I had no idea who Sentry was. I had to look him up after I watched the movie, and now the blonde hair dye thing makes more sense.

The writing was still Millennial style quip shit sometimes, but I appreciate that the characters took at least most of the main plot seriously. I also had a chuckle when Sentry dusted the kid, but then I knew it wasn't going to be permanent. Maybe one day Marvel will have its "Logan" movie.

I watched it. It was alright. I don't particularly care about any of the characters but it was fine. Florence being the main character with her fake accent gets a little grating.

Any idea when this will be rentable on YouTube?
