Having a big budget for a movie doesn’t always mean it will make a lot of money.

While many successful films do have high budgets, how much money a film makes can depend on a lot of things:

1. Budget vs. Earnings:

   • In 2020, the average cost to make a big movie was about $150 million. However, only 34$300 million at the global box office.

2. Profitability Ratios:

   • Movies that cost less than $20 million often make more profit. For example, the movie *Get Out* (2017) cost$4.5 million to make and earned $255 million. This means it made about$56.67 for every dollar spent.

3. Statistical Outcome:

   • On average, films that cost under $50 million make a return of around 500%. In contrast, big-budget movies usually have a return of only 70%.

Overall, the link between a movie's budget and how much money it makes isn’t simple. Just having a high budget isn’t a solid guarantee that a film will be profitable.
