    reportedly cost the studio roughly $42.6 million dollars to make, with a net profit hitting over $49.7 million. Approximately $7 million past the breakeven point,

      I’m very confused, are they taking costs away from net profits which would already be inclusive of costs?

        Not a clue. I didn’t go deeper. If I was guessing, the 49 million is supposed to be their actual revenue (eg excluding platform fees. I’m not actually sure how they officially treat the platform cuts in their books).

        But it’s not profit (or if it is then subtracting cost again is wrong).
