Look, I'm not robophobic. Some of my best friends are cyborgs. I just don't want them living in my neighborhood, you know?

I suppose being on the proper medication would give you a small glimpse of what being neurotypical is like.

Yeah, everyone's been excited for this to succeed. I have no doubt it'll be amazing.

There's no way it actually cost $500m to make.

You're right, there isn't. The real, reported budget is $180 million.

The reason it needs to make $500 million to break even is because the studio doesn't get the full box office gross - 50% of it goes to the theaters (because they don't show movies for free).

So it needs to make double the budget, plus an additional hundred million or so, to cover the marketing costs, putting the real breakeven at around $450 million.

This feels like an xkcd comic. Was this inspired by a specific one?
