Hello, I don't know where do you found this 70M number cause we don't count cinema income like that but rather just in dollars. For a simple reason, cinema ticket prices are pretty versatile depending on the country you're in, and even in the same country it's not the same price depending on your age.

A movie is supposed to win money if the total of the tickets sold are more than the double of the movie budget (because advertisement is not often count as part of a movie budget and for a blockbuster the advertisement budget is often the same as the movie budget itself). I'm not even talking about the distribution of the ticket price between cinema theatre etc...

So for Fantastic beast 3 the budget for the movie is 200 millions usd. Plus the 200 millions for advertisment budget, the estimated total is around 400 millions.

So it's not a big failure, but the movie didn't earn money (neither lost).

I don't know how video game industry work, but my guess is something like developer + editor + valve or epic games if it's bought dematerialized.

But video games editors are pretty shady about games budgets.

For Hogwarts Legacy, the game sold for 12 millions copy on the first two weeks for a 850 millions usd income.
