Ask and ye shall receive.
- Venom (2018)
- Budget: $100-116 million
- Box office: $856,085,161
- Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
- Budget: $110 million
- Box office: $506,863,592
- Morbius (2022)
- Budget: $75-83 million
- Box office:
$1 morbillion$167,460,961
- Madame Web (2024)
- Budget: $80 million
- Box office: $100,498,764
- Venom: The Last Dance (2024)
- Budget: $120 million
- Box office: $472,812,792
So, in total, Sony spent $485-509 million on all the films, and they have made a combined $2.1 billion.
The highest grossing SSU film was the first Venom movie, and they seem to have been chasing that high ever since. Their lowest-grossing movie (so far) is Madame Web.
So it appears that over time, the SSU movies have been making less and less money with each release (with the exception of Venom 3).
Movie budgets usually don’t include the marketing costs, as that information is almost never revealed to the public. But to fins out how much money a film would need to be profitable, a good guess is to multiply the budget by 2.5.
For example, a $100 million film would need to make at least $250 million to break even.
But this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, as no one can really be certain of the marketing budget.
