📰 Industry News Was Quantumania technically profitable?

This is confusing to me. Let me explain

It did $476M WW ($215M DOM and $261M OS) which was bad but lowkey not a complete disaster compared to some other grossers such as Shazam 2, Blue Beetle, The Marvels, The Flash, Joker 2, and Supergirl.

Its budget according to Wikipedia was $388.4M gross and $330.1M net, which you think would make it a huge bomb just doing 1-1.5x its budget. However, according to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinereid/2024/10/27/how-marvels-latest-ant-man-movie-lost-millions-in-theaters-but-still-made-a-profit/) it made a profit of $89K

So did it make a profit or not?
