With the recent turmoil in the joker 2, I wanted to look back at the last 10 projects by the respective studios and anything that broke even or had a profit was given a success and anything that did not was labelled a flop.
As we head into 2025 with 3 films for the mcu and 1 for the dc/dcu it’s much more imperative how important superman at least breaking even is.
And with marvel, cap 4 seems to have a ballooned budget that would need it to crack upwards of $650m to break even so it would be interesting to see if that is possible and we can only hope to see the budgets come down across the board for the MCU minus probably the avengers / big team up movies

Stop beating a dead horse
I’m more interest if DC lost more money in their last 10 project or MCU won more money in their last 10 projects.
This is a good way of showing why DC is rebooting and why Marvel is sticking with it. 1 film for DC next year is probably a good thing. Put all your effort into 1 good movie. Marvel can still afford to release a bunch of projects and just have 1 be a big hit.
It always surprises me how successful L&T was. Personally it’s my most hated MCU movie, but that might be due to how invested I was in Thor as a character.
This isn’t even an analysis it’s so trite. Eternals is labelled a flop despite being within a hair of Shang (where overseas Eternals actually grossed more) and even grossing less than Ant-Man 3. Ant-Man 3 made more than twice of the six DC releases, a label applied to all like flop or success is meaningless in this case for that reason alone. NWH outgrossed them all combined if you drop The Batman.
What a beatdown by Marvel. Guess that’s just how the story goes
