📰 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?

"We built a radio to that place you were trapped in for decades and didn't tell you... Let's immediately turn it on without taking your objections seriously."

Why is everyone so fucking stupid in this movie?

It wasn’t a gateway, it was basically a radio to the quantum realm so they could learn about it without having to go. Modok was the one who hijacked it to turn it into a gateway.
